Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 12:42 pm So the only guide I have right now is a world coin book from 2007 (which even if current I would assume inflates the value like the RedBook)and it says this coin in XF condition would be around $50, but even half of that I am not sure to get without a buyer and have only seen one example on ebay. Any thoughts about value, where to find value, and where possibly to sell? Not that I will but in the future if the need arises. Thanks all! Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 1:20 pm My gut tells me no. Maybe if the mintage is low enough on that coin it might be worth in the neighbourhood of $50, but I doubt it. I don't know about general interst in Venezuelan low-denomination early 20th century coinage but considering I've got this type coin, it tells me it's not particularily rare. Perhaps my gut feeling is wrong? Report this Post to the Staff
teo2015 Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 1:23 pm The NGC site is showing it at $4 for VF20, XF at $50, and up to $300 for MS63. It is one of the highest priced 5 centimos coins, but the challenge is always finding a buyer. Report this Post to the Staff

Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 3:36 pm Yeah I saw the mintage was 2 million and the NGC site prices. And I guess by valuable I meant more than a few bucks ;P I have no idea how to grade one of these. It is definitely not UNC but telling the difference between VF and XF could be somewhere in between a $40 difference (and that is only for a buyer and that is a problem by itself). Thanks for the opinions! I only saw the one listing on ebay for $12 and mine is definitely better shape than that one. Report this Post to the Staff
jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 01:16 am Pay no attention to the BIN price -- always look at the prices for sold items. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...045573.m1684 Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 5:58 pm That's the weird thing the prices even on the sold stuff is so varying... I guess you have to be lucky that at least 2 people that know its worth go after it? Difference of $3 to $40 there. Thanks though! Report this Post to the Staff
