I purchased this at an estate sale from a man who found it under the bed..I have gone through and separated by country and researched about 6 months but I have more interest in U.S and still not sure what to do with them. There are so many which would be valuable dates if they contained an error so thought for a minute what they were. Any suggestions?  |

Good luck with your identification. Curious as to why you think some of the dates will have errors.

Look for older used KM SCWC on ebayI know a person trying to find people that want his old catalogs. I'll send him a message suggesting to list his old books there. |

I'd love to come across a box of stashed world coins. For comparison purposes, check sold/completed ebay listings of foreign/world coin lots. For those lots selling by weight, they typically go for $9-12 per pound, sometimes as high as $15. |

There are many that are the same date in the same denomination example multiple coins from UK 82 pence.or india 1985. amongst many others.I also posted asking about a missing clad US coin plant it on here I came across in this box and it all lines up as far as weight and luster as an error. What caught my interest the most in the box was a fortune cookie that red he will come across the small fortune

Sorry to keep posting but finding the error U.S made me dig deeper cause there was a1918 5 centavos I thought might be a mule but date is to large and there are multiple 1970-s pennies, thought all small dates but now I'm reading to far into every coin which makes my mind run in every direction and skip something.I might be out of my mind, but I feel the collector who originally put it together knew their foreign coins. There is a receipt in there to a woman who the box did not belong to for $100 with no date or any other information and before I started sorting it just looked like a box of worthless coins

Here is a reply from my buddy that has surplus KM catalogs: "I have 10 of the 20th century catalogs, ranging from 1976 to 2003, but I've decided it's too much trouble to try to sell them on ebay and may throw them out with the paper recycles. Finding a box and paying the postage just isn't worth it. However, if you can put someone in direct contact with me who wants one (or more) of them, I could probably work something out." |

Agree with John1. Check the online resources--they're not horrible.

@Zilliz, it sounds like this could be the kind of collection that comes together when people throw their spare change from foreign travel in a box over many years ... Or they receive it from others who know they collect coins. The ones that are more recent than 1970 from large countries (UK, Netherlands, etc.) are unlikely to provide anything of value unless you can find silver, or some special issues. I would focus on any older coins, though even those may not be work much if they are common types. Maybe 1918 was the birthyear of someone in that family, which could explain holding onto coins of that date? You should be able to figure most of them out from the legends on the coins, and then look on ebay for the current market value. If there are ones you can't figure out, post them here. |
