OneMoreRoll Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 04/05/2008 9:47 pm My grandfather passed away quiet some time ago and used to receive multiple commemorative coins/sets. Here are a few of them. Can anyone tell me what this gold coin is worth. I am not going to sell it or any or them b/c they remind me of him but was just curious.

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 04/05/2008 10:07 pm It looks like you have a Constitution Commemorative Gold Coin. These were produced in 1987 by the US mint to commemorate the Bicentennial of the US constitution. This coin has a very high mintage for a gold commemorative. Unfortunately it is worth close to the spot price of gold. Probably around $225.00. You also have the companion Constitution Silver dollar. These two are probably part of a set.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 04/05/2008 10:20 pm The boxed coin is a Bulgaria 1 Lev of 1981 KM# 119, Commemorating "Russo-Bulgarian Friendship" Mintage 22,000 and looks uncirc, which Krause lists at $2.50 Report this Post to the Staff
OneMoreRoll Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 04/05/2008 10:33 pm Thank you guys. My grandfather was Russian/Ukrainian and we have a great load of coins from those two countries. Also, 225 is a lot of money for something the size of a nickel. These coins came in pairs, you were right. I just had to take them out of the boxes to scan. KurtS, if that coin, the Bulgarian one, has such a low mintage, why is it worth so little? Just wondering. To me its not the value that counts but the endless memories that these coins bring back.

OneMoreRoll Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 04/05/2008 11:05 pm nice. I still have all of those coins in their original boxes. I started collecting about 6 years ago, then stopped b/c kids would make fun of me(kinda) and then started again. I'm only 17 right know. Report this Post to the Staff
