Hello all,

Today I was browsing through some local 'junk shops', you know the ones that sell old furnitures, books etc. but that cannot be defined as 'true' antiques shop. Anyway, one of them had a tray filled with different kind of coins and of course, I had to sit down and dig right in. I found a couple of Third Reich zinc coins and Soviet bronze and al-bronze coins, that filled couple of gaps in my collections.

But I also found several other interesting coins that I just had to buy (besides, all of the coins were dirt-cheap, just 0,50 euro-cents a piece).

Now, my fellow coin enthusiasts, I'd need your help in defining the coin grades and if someone has Krause catalog at hand, I'd love to know the price range too for these. Here are actual scans of the coins:


Grading-Few-Coins-Found-From-A-'Junk-Shop'
1948A - 10 Pfennig ( DDR)


Grading-Few-Coins-Found-From-A-'Junk-Shop'
1949A - 10 Pfennig ( DDR)


Grading-Few-Coins-Found-From-A-'Junk-Shop'
1952A - 10 Pfennig ( DDR)


Grading-Few-Coins-Found-From-A-'Junk-Shop'
1950D - 1 Deutsch mark (BRD)


Grading-Few-Coins-Found-From-A-'Junk-Shop'
1912 - 3 Kopeks (Russian empire)


Grading-Few-Coins-Found-From-A-'Junk-Shop'
1913 - 1 Krone (Sweden)


Grading-Few-Coins-Found-From-A-'Junk-Shop'
1915 - 1 Krone (Sweden)


Grading-Few-Coins-Found-From-A-'Junk-Shop'
1914 - 5 Ore (Sweden)


Grading-Few-Coins-Found-From-A-'Junk-Shop'
1882 - 5 Ore (Sweden)


Thanks for looking,

1. $2.50 in Very fine I would say this is only "fine"
2. $2.50 in Very fine
3. $1.50 in Very fine
4. $0.75 in Very fine

Russia
5. $0.75 in fine, $1.50 in Very fine

Sweden (These are silver coins so will always have bullion value)
6. $3.50 in fine (but these may be only "Very Good")
7. $3.00 in fine

5 Ore coins
8. $2.25 in fine $5.50 in very fine
9. $4.00 in fine

I hope this helps. These are Book values for the grade in USA Dollars, but I'm not an expert on the grades.

Thank you, Toast, for the grading and values. I'm quite newbie with coins, so I probably would've graded them a bit too high. But I'm learning slowly :) On the other hand, especially those aluminum DDR coins look much better in real life than in scanned pictures...in those scans, they look quite dull. Same applies to the Deutsch Mark too.

Eurocoin, if you're living in Turku...I found these from John Frisk's store.
