Hi All- We recently found these coins digging through some old family boxes. They were from World War II days and brought back by our great grand father. They have been untouched since. I have about 12 total and all can be seen at the link below. Any comments on rarity and value would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Kevin https://picasaweb.google.com/kmasse...t=directlink |

For a change, your Chinese and Japanese coins all look to be genuine which is very good. Even better is that if you are to sell them, you should be able to get more than 1000 dollars in total. If someone offers you a fraction for the whole lot, reject it immediately.

Thanks! We figured they were genuine as they have been stored for so long. It seems as though there are a lot of fakes out there, is it worth it to certify them prior to selling?

oh my dear lord - yes! Get them slabbed, especially number 19-22, and number 3, 4. Such an amazing lot of coins! haha I wouldn't try to sell these right now because prices in the Chinese coin market especially in China has been rising quicker than inflation  In fact, I have a very good replica of the Beiyang dollar I picked up this time in China. Least to say, the quality fakes are getting better, and although fakes most on the market are still crudely made, there are some coming in that are actually struck in silver and with good dies. Here's my fake one.   |

Thanks, we had a lot of fun last night digging through the boxes and researching them online. He has other coins from Canada, Australia, Morocco and parts of South America. We figured we would start with these first and move through the different countries. We will probably wait to sell. How much does it usually cost to slab and is there one service better than the others?

Unless you're a member of the ANA, you must submit it to the PCGS (you can use NGC too) through an authorized dealer. I can't seem the find the price page anymore, but I think it was around $50 for world coins, and especially one of that caliber. |

Hi all -
Posted here a while back on the coins in the link above and as you can see some suggested holding the coins as value would increase. Just wanted to check in and see if anyone had any thoughts on this collection and if the market is more favorable now than it was in my original post back in June '11. Thanks in advance!

All are common pieces, all genuine if they were stored for half an century and will cost US1,500.00 by my guesswork.
