fnd1234 Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 2:22 pm I was going through an inherited collection I received a while back, and I'm having troubles finding information on these coins. There are the 3 square ones, as shown, as well as 3 matching rounds. Any information is appreciated. Also, I would love to get them out of the old coin holder they're in. Any ideas on how to properly preserve these odd-shaped coins? I promise, the terrible pictures don't give the coins the justice they deserve. 1938 5 Pengo 1935 2 Pengo 1929 5 Pengo Edited by fnd1234 12/30/2018 3:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Eurocoin Valued Member Finland 294 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 3:12 pm It's a pattern coin, like here: http://www.icollector.com/Hungary-p...ive_i9881543 It was quite common to sell pattern coins to public in some Eastern European countries.

fnd1234 Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 4:01 pm Thanks Eurocoin! Are you familiar with information on these specific coins? I'd love to see some sort of appraisal. Report this Post to the Staff
Eurocoin Valued Member Finland 294 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 5:16 pm Fnd1234 - unfortunately I'm not familiar with these or their market value. NGC Priceguide may give some direction, but usually shown values aren't accurate in the real world: https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...ngary-5-pengö-x-pn12.2-1929-cuid-1179307-duid-1414949 Ended auction results would be better to value these examples in my opinion. Usually best price levels are in the country of origin so maybe a quick search with Google Translator may give better results. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 09:12 am It looks like the sale price for a 1935 in the link from eurocoin was $85. I found a recent auction result (about $200) for a 1929: https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...3e740b85d686 And there is also an upcoming auction with a 1936 and a 1929 that you can follow: https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...1a5d68f92500 Just be careful about comparing yours to examples that may be better preserved. Very neat coins! Edited by tdziemia 12/31/2018 09:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
