After a month of no post I come back with a Euro. Shame on me. Still it is the first thing I found since my Where's George dollar. I found some interesting things I'll post in next few days but for now let's get through this mundane coin.
As you can tell the 5 Euro Cent is fully detailed but is dirty. The fingerprints are permanent since the the mixture of water and chloride ions, which are inorganic salt from sweat, etch the surface of the coin leaving a gap or ridge that fills with dirt. Watching Law & Order: SVU a few months ago I also learned that vegans leave less fingerprints since they have lower salt in their body. A more carnivorous person leaves a greater mark on metals because of higher salt content. Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Euro Cent / France
Year: 1999
Mintage: 616,227,000
Metal: Copper-Plated Steel
Value: $0.07 in Very-Fine (This is exchange rate prices.)
Do you have a Euro coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
Mundane is true...!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say more but it was turning into a rant since I can't sell or exchange these coins so I just went for science side.

First of all, I think you're swell for even offering to look these up for people!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if the value of the 1999 five cent from France has changed since the original post. I'm also wondering about the 2016 value of the following coins:
1 cent France 2000
10 cent France 1999
10 cent Germany (minted Karlsruhe) 2002
1999 five cent from France about $0.05
ReplyDelete1 cent France 2000 about $0.02
10 cent France 1999 about $0.10
10 cent Germany (minted Karlsruhe) 2002 about $0.10
I'm also wondering about the 2016 value of the following coins:
