malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 01/11/2009 02:25 am I am sorting through world sets that I have put together and trying to assign values. I looked in the 2006 krause and then try to cross reference with average value on ebay. I noticed that for the 1957 100 lire from Italy in AU condition krause lists the value as $150. ($15 for XF) Ia m curious as to why I found it on ebay for a buy it now price of $6.95? What is the actually values for this coin as I had been under the impression that krause is usually undervalued for coins. thanks for any info. ps if anyone has a photo of an AU condition 100 lire, please post as I would like to compare remaining details on my coins.

malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 01/11/2009 04:19 am thank you. I will have to take a closer look at mine. The only area of wear that I can see is on the little flower above the figures waist. other than that, there a couple of bag marks and that's it. I have to say that when I started looking these up I got a little red in the face. Years ago when I pulled these out of the world coin bin..... I grabbed 7 or 8 of the 1957 and gave them to my mother. I didn't realize they had that kind of value. thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

I just placed these in a bag of foreign coins that are not silver. I also have one from 1961, 1967, and 1970; plus a 50 Lire from 1965. Report this Post to the Staff
