coinheir New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 1:34 pm My grandfather is giving me his huge coin collection to sell for him. After some initial investigation, it looks like we won't realize what he paid for them, but I'm just beginning my education. I think this is the best place to post pics of 2 coin sets he sent me, commemorating world fisheries. One set is Piedforts and the other is regular thickness. The piedforts include the following coins: Cape Verde 50 Escudos Ghana 50 Cedis Mozambique 50 Meticals Seychelles 25 Rupees Somalia 25 Shillings Sao Tome 100 Dobras Uruguay N$20 Liberia 2 Dollars The regular set has the following coins: Cape Verde 50 Escudos Ghana 50 Cedis Liberia 2 Dollars Maldives 50 rufiyaa Malta LM5 Mozambique 50 Meticals Portugal 250 Escudos Sao Tome 100 Dobras Seychelles 25 Rupees Somalia 25 Shillings Turkey 500 Lira Uruguay N$20 Pix to follow..

coinheir New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 07/18/2007 09:31 am Harold, That was the question I was both hoping for and dreading! I just started receiving my Grandfather's coin collection in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I am completely bewildered as to the value of these coins. I will respect their 50 post rule and not offer these coins for sale here. (It won't be too long before I've got 50 mails up anyway!) My original intent was to get some idea of the value of these coins and find out where the best outlet for selling them would be. I've had some mixed luck with ebay, and am usually less happy the higher the the selling price. Report this Post to the Staff
Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 07/18/2007 11:11 am Coinheir It is very difficult to say what they are worth. They all come up for sale from time to time on ebay and I bought my silver Piedfort set some time ago for $320 which was substantially lower than the original issue price. A very good site for FAO coins is the following site which although is not an FAO site has a comprehensive view of FAO coin sets and medals. It also lists a number of prices realized for the various albums etc issued over the years http://fao-coins.info/ Harold Report this Post to the Staff

I just wish that I could afford it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/vito-34-FAO-W...LD_W0QQitemZ a href= https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/260145838631 target= _blank rel= nofollow 260145838631 /a QQihZ016QQcategoryZ45159QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Report this Post to the Staff
