Trio of Nations

Do you have any world coins and want to know its value? Leave a comment

Finally I have something a bit more interesting to display although a Canadian cent did happen to make its way in this post. The diversity of coins found this time is great and  some I have not seen in my change in years.

First an East Caribbean States quarter from 2004. Back in December 2009 I found a dime from the same issuer. Given that it is a standard size quarter and with all the U.S. state/territories/parks quarters floating around I expect to see more foreign quarters over the next few years.

Second is a Moroccan Dirham from 2002. The last time I found this type was in November 2006 but I did not post it for some reason, probably swamped with exams.

Third was a Canadian cent, nuff said.


Not in the best shape but finding these all in the same day was a nice kind of cool. Sometimes for other finds I group them together just to save on time and energy, I have to be "green".

For the East Caribbean States quarter there seems to be a gap between issues and problems. The world coin book by Krause list them for 2000 then 2002 then 2007. This 2004 is not listed but I know they made every type of coin for 2004 including sets but the book is incomplete on lots of modern coins.

Here are the stats for this...
Type/Country: 25 Cents / East Caribbean States
Year: 2004
Mintages: Not yet known
Metal: Copper-nickel
Value: $0.25 in XF

Type/Country: 1 Dirham / Morocco
Year: 1423-2002
Mintage: Not yet known
Metal: Copper-nickel
Value: $0.75 in VF

Type/Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 1985 Blunted 5
Mintage: 771,772,500
Metal: 98% copper, 0.5% tin and 1.5% zinc
Value: $0.02 in F

Now with the Canadian cent there are two varieties, a blunted 5 and a pointed 5.
The blunted 5 is characterized by having a rectangular top in the number 5. Worth nothing extra.
The pointed 5 is characterized by having a more trapezoidal top to the number 5. Worth about 30 times the normal cent.
Oh just look at this link from Coins and Canada it has pretty pictures.

Do you have any foreign coins 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.

Would you know the silver grade (.800, .925, etc.) & coin weight of the 1970's Bahamas $10 coins?

Generally they are 0.500 silver but it depends on exact date.

I have a canadian nickel from 2006 without a P or mint logo, like it's supposed to. It doesn't have anything. Is this some sort of mint error, and if so, is it worth something?

Man said...

canadian nickel from 2006 without a P or mint logo

That is normal 3 types were made...
* 5 cents 2006 -
* 5 cents 2006 - P
* 5 cents 2006 - Logo

No extra value.

Oh, sorry. I was under the impression it was just P or Logo. Thanks.

Where could I exchange the Zimbabwe's 100 trillion dollars?

You can't that bill has been devalued.

It only has collector's value the exchange rate for that old money is less than $0.01.

eBay is the only place to sell one of those.

Not a coin it is a Telephone Token from Israel.
Probably from the 1980s but I'm no expert it has some verdigris damage.

Obsolete Israeli public telephone Asimon tokens about $0.50 in that shape.
