mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 03/01/2016 2:08 pm I'm very new to world coins. Until recently I have only collected US coins. I found this in a cheap mixed bag of foreign coins and the Standard Catalog values it pretty high in UNC or BU condition. What are your thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 03/01/2016 2:52 pm From my experience, most coins from this series (0,50-5 drachma coins) are usually very worn, only reaching grades up to VF, many considerably less. I'm unsure how date rareties go, however. Report this Post to the Staff
mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 03/01/2016 2:56 pm This lot had four of them from 1954, but they showed considerable wear...probably VF condition. This one looks much better, but I don't know how to grade non-US coins. Report this Post to the Staff
keepcalmandcoinon Pillar of the Community United States 865 Posts	Posted 03/01/2016 3:02 pm Looks to have a good amount of circulation on the reverse. Id say around xf condition, value around 10-20. 10 if you're looking to sell it quick, 20, maybe more, if you're patient with finding a collector. Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 03/01/2016 3:14 pm Most foreign prices in the catalog are exaggerated. Not just here, but look @ sold listings. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Coins-Paper...ece+50+lepta Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 03/01/2016 4:58 pm I think the "wear" can mostly be attributed to a weak strike, as I see similar weakness on both sides. Since there's some dirt on the obverse I agree it still has some wear. Report this Post to the Staff
