The one and only Malawi coin I own. My information is so limited about Malawi that I cannot confirm if any of Madonna's children are from here. In general African coins are difficult to find and have little interest among most casual collectors.

The rooster is also neat. It seems to be in full crow and is scratching at the dirt. As for exchange value you need 271 of these to make one U.S. cent.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Tambala / Malawi
Year: 1991
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Copper Plated Steel
Value: $0.15 in Fine
Do you have a Malawi 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.
It seems interesting that this coin is also my only Malawian coin. Mine is also 1994. The only difference is mine has mint luster (it does have a few circulation scratches, so it is AU).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have a question not relating to this coin. How much would a 1950 Iran 25 dinars in VG condition be worth? It says $20 in the Krause book for fine, mine is VG.
Thanks.
I meant mine is 1994 in the first post, not "also 1994."
ReplyDelete1950 Iran 25 dinars in VG condition
ReplyDelete--About $15.00 currently they are selling well, the book is a good guide but current auctions and forum trades can also help. I suspect they are going up in anticipation to war so the value may fall again if nothing happens.
...so it is AU...mine is 1994
--About $0.65
Thanks for the values. I really only stated the stuff about my tambala, I knew the value of it. I did pretty well on the Iranian coin, I got it out of a 4 for $1 dealer box.

ReplyDeleteThat sounds great, as long as the coin is not cleaned then you can easily get 10x times the value you paid.
Be aware since there is a $500 mule for that year and many fakes exist.
I checked for the mule. My coin is not cleaned, and I am not planning to sell it now anyway. Are the fakes only of the mule?
ReplyDeleteAre the fakes only of the mule?
ReplyDeleteNo, but it is more common. There has been a bunch of MS-65 and higher dinars that come from China.
People pay $30 a piece to have them graded and they get sent back as fakes.
I had a great article from Coin World but I don't think there is a free link.
Mine is VG, so it is unlikely that it is a fake, since $15 would not be a great profit for the counterfeiters.
ReplyDeleteHow much is a 1953 Switzerland 1/2 Franc worth and what would be a fair price?
ReplyDelete1953 Switzerland 1/2 Franc worth and what would be a fair price?
ReplyDeleteWell I consider a fair price around 10% more or less than it's worth.
In Very-Fine condition about $2.00 mostly for the silver content.
thanks man

ReplyDeleteThe one above is about $0.15 but in higher grades and on eBay $2.00 seems fair.
