What's This One Worth?

Howdy Chasey1,

Welcome to the forum. I myself are a newbee to this forum. But, I collected foreign coins 30 years ago. No expert...but, I recognized your coin.

You can follow the link below to give you an estimated pricing.

At the same time, I don't know how accurate this pricing is because there could be other reasons for a different price/grading. For example, during the occupation of many Asian countries by the Japanese during WWII...many of these coins (silver) were taken and melted down by the Japanese. The ones that were not found, many of these were taken by the military...USA, British, etc. No matter what...there is history in the coin you hold. When I first started collecting back when I was 10 years old (1970...hey, no old jokes)...I would marvel at holding a coin from the 1880's and think...who else held this coin? What has this coin seen? So, even if you paid over what this coin is worth...learn from your oversight...but, don't be deterred.

In other words, don't give up on foreign coins...I have always had a soft spot for them. Many are absolutely beautiful.

Warm coin regards,

Jerkyg

Thanks Markn,

That is what connected me with the coins I have held in my hand over many years. Many collectors forget why they have spent monies in garnering their collections. To me, it is not solely an invenstment. To this day, I am in awe with a coin...even if it is only worth Two Cents...that is from a hundred years ago. Was this coin used to pay for a food, a prositute, rent, a mule..etc. ad naseum! If I could have been with that coin...the things I could have seen. And now, I now have that piece of history in my hands.

Maybe if the collectors had this in mind, we could bring the true meaning of our addiction to all.

Again, thanks for understanding what I have shared.

Warm coin regards,

Jerkyg

Terry, I just brought home two Buffalo nickels, each BU.

I had never bought a Buffalo nickel in that condition before. Very nice!

I agree with you Bryan. My newly acquired Buffalo nickels have probably been touched only a very few times in the last 70 years. But, whereas a Morgan actually looks that way, a Buffalo nickel doesn't. I know it's BU, but doesn't look like it.
