There might be a few posters here that spot something valuable or atleast keepable but, that's way too many coins at once for most of our posters to identify. I have mine in a separate album also and just take a good look at them every so often. I think you have your hands full with the Canadians and US coins. Please don't try so many at once...I would hate to see you lose interest because you're overloaded. That's a nice collection from what I can see! Edited by dsking

I maintain a collection of world coins--pretty much for fun. I'm not concerned about their value, and I don't get into the 'error/variety' weeds with them. I like the varied designs--some are very striking. Nearly all of my effort goes into US coinage, but it's cool (and relaxing) to have world coins to just look at and enjoy. |

This might sound rude, but it's meant to be a wake up call. Why would the volunteers on this site want to work their way through 400 coins to give the opinion you are seeking? Please do some research on your own using websites like https://www.ngccoin.com (which has the Krause catalog), and if you see some things you think may be valuable, THEN post them for an assessment. |

A very quick look reveals:
There are some tokens here too.
The 2 greek coins on the last page (1863-1963) are silver.
The euro coins are worth a few dollars-in Europe, but very few currency exchanges will take coins, maybe the highest denomination.
Likewise the Iceland 100 and 50 Kr are spendable but only in Iceland-worth a few dollars.
Any dealer would give you silver value for the silver, but the others likely would only pay by weight-a few dollars per pound.

Thanks for all your replies! And I appreciate your input oriole! I will set them aside until I have more time to research them. Sorry for the abundance of photos! I'm pretty new at this!

Make sure your storage pages do not contain PVC if you plan to keep the coins in them for a while. Take it from someone who ruined a set of MS Lincoln cents as a child.
I enjoy world coins that came from the US Mint. There could be a few here, including those from the Philippines.

Very interesting Bump! I didn't even know that some of the world coins I have were minted in the US! Will research more when I have time!
Thank you!

Thanks Bump! I will make sure to check if my pages contain PVC! Not sure how I'll find out, but I'll definitely look into it!
Good to know!

Hi again Bump, So I've just checked my Amazon orders for 2 X 2 flips. I purchased 3 different kinds at different points during the past year and a half, but none of them say if they have PVC nor do they specify any ingredients. Any way to know for sure? HELP!!!!! |

Me again Bump, Needless to say, I'm a bit stressed with the possibility of PVC in my 2x2s. I dug a bit deeper and came up with no information about PVC. Is it supposed to say PVC free or something? Mine DO NOT. If anyone knows about the different distributors and vendors on Amazon, here is what I bought: FULLCASE, sold by ADAME Jomevia, Gogoai, sold by TFUS HICARER, sold by Mudor Thanks Edited by Jess1234

The 2x2 flips purchased these days will be OK - usually made of Mylar. I was more concerned with the clear plastic pages you have some of the coins in. If they are very pliable, there is a chance that they are PVC plastic. You may be able to tell by looking up the manufacturer info embossed somewhere on the perimeter of the page. In any event, they won't be damaged by short-term housing in this type of material. The PVC usually has ill effects after longer use. You can look up your individual coins on the Numista pages as suggested earlier in the thread. For a list of coins produced by the individual U.S. Mints, see below: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...&ct=coin&p=1https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...&ct=coin&p=1https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...&ct=coin&p=1Edited to correct links "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

Thanks so much Bump! I was really worried! I will do more research and perhaps replace the clear plastic pages, which are pliable by the way.
They're made by BCW.
I'm on it case I certainly don't want any of my coins to be ruined!

Hi Bump,
So here's what my plastic covers are made of:
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic "addition polymer" made from the combination of propylene monomers. It is used in a variety of applications to include packaging for consumer products, plastic parts for various industries including the automotive industry, special devices like living hinges, and textiles.
I presume and am relieved to see that there is no PVC mentioned.
Thanks again for your prompt and detailed help!!! And thanks for the links to individual U.S. Mints that produce foreign coins.

Polypropylene is perfectly OK. I think you're safe with those pages.
