Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 01/31/2010 01:36 am Since most of your coins aren't from Canada, I've moved this thread to the World Coins section. Here's what you've got. I have a 2006 Krause, which is a bit out of date by now, I'm adding a little to the value stated here, but in some cases I may not be adding enough. #1: Canada 5 cents 1870. There are two varieties listed, "flat rim": and "wire rim", but yours is so worn down it's got not much rim left at all. I'd call it Good at best, and the catalogue only goes down to Very Good. I'd guess it's a $5 coin at most. #2: Cuba 1 centavo 1916. There is a massive price jump between EF ($2) and Unc ($50); I think your coin is somewhere in between those two grades. I'd guess a $10 coin? #3: France 5 centimes 1915. These coins always look weakly struck; it's hard to determine a grade for them. I'm going to guess VF. $1.50. #4: France 5 centimes 1913 (it's not 1918; they didn't make these coins in 1918). This one's got three huge punch marks right in the middle of the obverse, which travel all the way through to make "lumps" on the reverse. That'll kill any numismatic value this coin might have had. It's scrap metal value - a few cents. #5: Great Britain florin 1918. This coin is made of sterling silver (.925 fine), so my catalogue values will be way off the mark. .3364 ounces ASW, $5.45 at current silver prices. I'd grade it an American Fine (British VG - the Brits have much stricter grading standards than you do in the US) - that should give it a premium of a few dollars above spot - call it an $8 to $10 coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/31/2010 08:11 am ya I realized that it was a 1913 before I posted it Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/31/2010 08:27 am what do you think about the value of this one? it looks like the mint mark is doubled over another one(I over a B) the mint mark is just below the wreath. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 01/31/2010 08:45 am The B over I mintmark is for Birmingham mint; it's supposed to look like that. Looks about VF; $4.

xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 01/31/2010 9:18 pm Umberto has a lot more detail in his hair and mustache when he is UNC. I believe Sap called the grade correctly Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/31/2010 9:27 pm no, I'm talking about the cuban 1 cantavo coin Report this Post to the Staff
xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 01/31/2010 10:18 pm lol.. so you did! Sorry about that. Without a much bigger picture on the Cuban 1 centavo, it's hard to tell if it's really uncirculated. It looks pretty good, but there could be wear that would keep it out of MS range. Are you able to post a larger picture? Of course, if you can look at it in-hand and see the high points have no wear and it has full luster (barring any bag marks), you could probably tell that better than we could from a picture.
