Banjax, both these Thai coins are 1 Baht. The one on the right is 1977. Not sure about the one on the left. Steve  |

Banjax. To get better pictures with your scan, place the top edge of the slab on a pencil, then scan use 300 res. According to CoinWorld A MS63 is $800 64=$900 65=$1500. Ballpark WAG with your scan MS-63/64 |

Banjax, The only way to tell for absolute sure!, is to have it in hand. Better scans would help get the grade closer, and it will still be MHO. THE HIGH POINT ON THE MORGAN IS THE HAIR OVER THE EAR AND THE TOP OF THE HAT. Check to be sure there is luster and no rub there, and then you probably have an UNC. Morgans CC's are not generally well struck and the hair over the ear will be ill defined on most, so mint luster is the best way to be sure. Then go to this link and check my CC album, find a graded coin that closely matches the one you have, it would give you a better idea. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/methe...odid=&.done=http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/metheboz/my_photos Edited by DaBoz

Your coin is a 10 baht, looks like year 2545 (2002 AD); that's the normal (non-commemorative) design, which isn't listed in the 2006 Krause for that date. Finding Thailand 10 baht coins in Europe isn't particularly surprising - they're almost identical in composition, size and weight to the 2 euro coin! As 10 Thai baht is only worth 20 eurocents face value, only a coin collector would appreciate getting one.  I remember this made the news back when the euro came out; Thai 10 baht were found to work as 2 euros in the vending machines. Needless to say, vending machines across Europe were being flooded with 10 baht coins; some opportunistic folks were apparently exporting them from Thailand in bulk. There was a minor diplomatic incident over the coins: Europe wanted Thailand to withdraw them (or take steps to stop their bulk export); Thailand replied that the 10 baht coins had been around for a decade and the designers of the euro coinage had only themselves to blame. Vending machines across Europe had to be altered (presumably at considerable expense) to be able to detect the subtle differences between the 2 euro and 10 baht. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I went to my local bank to cash in 7.88 of cents. They have a coin counter. While the worker was adjusting the printed of the machine I noticed some loose coins on top of the bags they use to fill the coins. It was a quick glance (I think I saw a mercury)and I asked the worker why these coins were there and she explained that the machine 'rejected' them because they were not US coins. I asked her if I could have them and explained that I collect coins. At first she couldn't because they send the rejected coins to a company (she didn't say which). I was able to convince her (I must admit I begged) to let me have them just this one time and she gave them to me. As soon as I got them in my hand, sure enough I did see a Mercury dime! 2 of them 1942 and 1943! I stayed near her a little longer (I was waiting for the printer to give me my receipt to take to the teller) and trying to get the other 'rejected' coin, I think one them was a Liberty! I begged and pleaded to let me have the others and even asked her who the manager was so I can ask myself. I thing she got a little nervous and told me she'll ask the manager. Well, it was the same answer, can't. I was so disappointed...Then I went to the teller with my receipt to get my money and I asked her if she had any half dollars, walked out with 4. AND I asked her about the BIG coins which is what they call them (Iks) walked out with 7! Mercury 1942D, 1943 Kennedy 1 -1965, 1-1972, 1-1964 and 1 bicentennial Iks 6- bicentennial, 1 1972 Boy, What a day I had!!! Edited by Mila_cent

Mila_cent, can you help an Aussie understand. You talk of getting a half dollar . Do you not have them in circulation over in the states any more. I was over there 16 years ago and I brought home some coins with me.
One is a half dollar (Kennedy) and the date says 1776 . 1976.
I also have a dollar coin 1977. I am pretty sure that they had stopped as I remember having paper $1 notes. I think the lady in the shop gave me the $1 coin because I was from overseas.
Also I am just having a look and there is another $1 coin but it is much small . A little bigger then a quarter.
What is the go.
Thanks Karen

Hi Karen, Kennedy halves are not so much circulated. I mean some people spend it like in a liquor store {at least in my neighborhood] some banks have them. I don't find many banks that have them in my area. Some banks don't want to give them up unless you are a customer. The half dollars I was referring to is the Kennedy half. As for the 'big coin' [Iks] it is the Eisenhower dollar coin. Image:  iksdoll.jpg42.86 KB The dollar coin you may have is the Susan B Anthony. Image: sbadoll.jpg32.89 KB Edited by Mila_cent
