Crazy Foreigners

Do you have a foreign coin/bill 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.

Back in April I met a lady from the Netherlands I said never been there but I do collect coins from that place. She then graciously offered me some coins and a bill that she couldn't use in New York.

Apparently she is traveling the world. Here are the ones she gave me plus a Canadian and American coin I found in my change.

ruble1
ruble2

This is why it's always good to talk to strangers.

Here are that stats for the money above...

I got a 1906 Canaidian quarter and ho w do I tell if it is large crown or Small, and why is the small crown worth so much more.

Man said...

1906 Canadian Quarter small crown is rare because in 1906 the design was modified to incraese the crown change the wreath.

Of the 237,843 minted only 35 small crown were ever found making one in very-good worth $2,000+.

The small crown is the same shape and size of previous quarters(1902-1905) the large crown is similar to 1907-1910.

A side by side comparison s your best bet here is a photo of them LINK

Well... excuse me to answering to such an old post... it's just that I'm from Russia :-) If I ever was in New York, I think I would try (if it's possible) to get to you and give you some not-so-common Russian coins (say, an 1999 ruble) :-))

The bill is from the 2004 series. The 1997 part has nothing to do with reality. By the way, they are going out of circulation, so keep it if it's not too late.

And since everyone seems to be asking about coins...

1) Is an 1999 two-ruble coin worth anything more than two rubles (ca. 7 cents)? They seem to be ridiculously low mintage - but it's still very recent.

2) I have a coin that is completely covered in some little black cavities but is otherwise absolutely readable (as in, every detail, including date, seen if look hard enough). What is its condition called? (By the way, the coin is 20 copecks, 1932.)

3) I also have a coin that seems to read "1 dollar, United States of Mexico" (in Spanish, obviously; I don't remember the date, but it's pre-2000, I think in the 1980s). Is it a real coin?

4) I also have a coin that reads "One Dollar", seems to be American, has a picture of some strange woman and - strangest of all - is brown. What is it and is it real? (The date is in the 2000s.)

5) Are GDR coins actually worth very much? I have an aluminium 10 pfennig (1952).

6) And finally - WHERE, WHEN and HOW can I actually get some first-half-of-the-century pennies/nickels/dimes/quarters/whatever at under 30 cents a piece? (I'm not, contrary to the most, interested in any-more-than-good condition (as in, the date and design must be readable, and it mustn't have that green stuff that can spread to other coins; almost everything else is fine for me) - and still the only coins I've actually bought were ca. 5000 modern ten-copeck coins (total face value ca. $15, total weight approximately the same in kg) for about minus two dollars: original owner wasn't interested in fifteen kilograms of useless metal, and was going to actually pay me for it... But that's another story.)
I repeat: WHERE, WHEN, and HOW can I get any old coins for under 30 cents a piece (under 3 if possible), in not-too-bad condition? (Banknotes, too - but who would sell a banknote for less than face value, even if the condition if not very good...)
(Oh, and I live in RUSSIA. Moscow to be exact. I won't go anywhere from there to take coins unless you or someone else compensates for it... ;-) )

...So what, how?

P. S. The "I'm not interested... fine for me" part approximately means "I don't care if the coin is worn if it's still readable, though less worn is better; too good is actually bad for me, since I don't care much about my coins anyway". It is badly worded and so might be understood incorrectly - but I hope you still got it even without my help :-)

The bill is from the 2004 series. The 1997 part has nothing to do with reality.
Yes I know but I list the series-year not the actual year. Like a USA bill 2004 is acutally from 2006.


1) Is an 1999 two-ruble coin worth anything more than two rubles (ca. 7 cents)?
About $3.00

2) I have a coin that is completely covered in some little black cavities but is otherwise absolutely readable (as in, every detail, including date, seen if look hard enough). What is its condition called? (By the way, the coin is 20 copecks, 1932.)
It might be considered damaged and not given a grade. It would be about $0.25.

3) I also have a coin that seems to read "1 dollar, United States of Mexico" (in Spanish, obviously; I don't remember the date, but it's pre-2000, I think in the 1980s). Is it a real coin?
Yes that is the official name of Mexico.

4) I also have a coin that reads "One Dollar", seems to be American, has a picture of some strange woman and - strangest of all - is brown. What is it and is it real? (The date is in the 2000s.)
Yes these are Sacagewea dollars and they are common.

5) Are GDR coins actually worth very much? I have an aluminium 10 pfennig (1952).
About $2.00 for 1952-A
About $10.00 for 1952-E

6) And finally - WHERE, WHEN and HOW can I actually get some first-half-of-the-century pennies/nickels/dimes/quarters/whatever at under 30 cents a piece? (I'm not, contrary to the most, interested in any-more-than-good condition (as in, the date and design must be readable, and it mustn't have that green stuff that can spread to other coins; almost everything else is fine for me)
Either eBay or join some coin forums and buy from the members, many sell coin at face value or less.

Hello!
I am the very same Anonymous from Russia who posted here last October.
And I want to finally know what my coins are actually worth :-)
Note: what I think to be normal coin condition is probably somewhere between your Good and Fine; though I have better-preserved coins.

So, here is the (rather large) part of my collection I have here to list (with many comments):

50 rubles, Russia, 1992-SPMD (bimetallic)
50 rubles, Russia, 1993-MMD (I'm not sure which variety it is)
20 lipa, Horvatia, 2005 (looks very good and shiny, as one would expect from such a new coin)

50 copecks, USSR, 1917-1967 commemorative
1 mark, FRG, 1954-D
10 pfennig, GDR, 1952-A (those two coins look funny next to each other)

5 laari, Maldives, 1990 (some weird shape here)
1 krone, Denmark, 1994 (with a hole at the center)
1 euro cent, France (?), 1999 (so well-preserved one can see the point in F.Courtiade)

1 cent, USA, 1992 (actually shiny, and no mintmark I can see)
10 agorot, Israel, 5754 (=1994)
10 copecks, Ukraine, 2002 (nearly shiny)
[lots of absolutely normal, though shiny, state quarters omitted]
5 cents, USA, 1805-2005 Lewis-Clark commemorative "Ocean in View" (with a mintmark looking like a filled-in P - is that even a mintmark?)
1 cent, USA, 1809-2009 Lincoln commemorative "Presidency in DC" (an early one - I had it since early December; also, no visible mintmark again)
[another several state quarters omitted, for a total of 13 different, not counting mintmarks]
25 cents, USA, 1973-D
10 rubles, Russia, 2008-MMD, Azov (bimetallic, "Ancient Cities of Russia" series)

10 agarot, Israel, 5758 (=1998, and nearly shiny)
10 copecks, USSR, 1917-1967 commemorative (and this time it really says that)
[about 80 modern Russian coins, mostly 2008 and 2009 shinies, omitted, and just why the heck do I have so many of those? ;-) ]
[still, several I think I should list:
10 rubles, 2009, the yellow non-commemorative version (either MMD or SPMD)
1 ruble, 2009, the steel version (also both mintmarks)
1 copeck, 2009-MMD (and that says all :-) ) ]
return to main list...
lots of Soviet commemorative rubles:
XII-Moscow-1985 (whatever that means)

1945-1975 commemorative
Moscow Olympics (1977, the one with the tower and rings)

- - - - - - - - - 1985
2 franks, Switzerland, 1979
[lots of modern Russian coins omitted]

And that's finally all :-) Or at least all I could find :-))


...So what, how? ;-)

Several questions, comments and replies, if not too late ;-)

50 rubles, Russia, 1992-SPMD (bimetallic) about $0.50 should be LMD or MMD
Sorry, the mintmark had the familiar shape of SPMD. I looked at it closer, and I think it's a LMD.

50 copecks, USSR, 1917-1967 commemorative about $3.00
Were there several versions? Mine is with the Lenin on the other side, and never actually says 1967 (or 1917).

I suggest buying a the Krause Russian Coin book in download form.
Where, and how much does it cost?

5 cents, USA, 1805-2005 Lewis-Clark commemorative "Ocean in View" (with a mintmark looking like a filled-in P - is that even a mintmark?) yes, about $0.05
No, it doesn't look like a normal P, it looks like a filled-in P - the lines are far too thick to be plausible. (Or is it normal?)

1 ruble, 2009, the steel version (also both mintmarks) about $0.50 each
Really?? Where I can sell those for that sort of price, then? Out here, they're nearly the most common roubles (costing the appropriate ca. 3 cents each).

[1 ruble, USSR, commemorative] Moscow Olympics (1977, the one with the tower and rings)
Did you miss that one? Where's the price?

[5 pesetas, Spain] 1985 ???? not listed
Sorry, my Spanish is near zero: does "Cien" really mean 5? I'm sure about 1985, though.

And several I unfortunately missed at first try:
1 copeck, Russia, 1998-SP, and actually shiny
2 copecks, Ukraine, 1993, aluminium (I think)


...So what, how? :-)

Still $0.50

50 copecks, USSR, 1917-1967 commemorative about $3.00

Two versions the Lenin one and a normal circulating type.

5 cents, USA, 1805-2005 Lewis-Clark commemorative "Ocean in View" (with a mintmark looking like a filled-in P - is that even a mintmark?) yes, about $0.05
No, it doesn't look like a normal P, it looks like a filled-in P - the lines are far too thick to be plausible. (Or is it normal?)
Filled P is called a Die Break error and it is very common so has no extra value.

1 ruble, 2009, the steel version (also both mintmarks) about $0.50 each
Really?? Where I can sell those for that sort of price, then? Out here, they're nearly the most common roubles (costing the appropriate ca. 3 cents each).
I'm assuming a high grade since 2009 is new but check out eBay they are all listed at $1.00 which is twice what they are sold for in coin shops out here.

Cien means 100 about $0.75

Normal circulating type - as in like the 1969 one? (I was just asking because I didn't expect so high a value.)

Maybe...
It's just that I wouldn't need a 1901-2000 book anyway - most Russian coins in my collection are either common Soviet low-copecks (like 2 copecks, 1987 - how much is its value in normal condition, more or less than 1 cent?), or modern post-2000 coins - about the only others are several shiny 1998 5-rubles I collected at some point.
Thanks for answering, though. Oh, and almost forgot - how much it costs? (The book, I mean.)


1 ruble, 2009, the steel version (also both mintmarks) about $0.50 each

Well, if they're low grade, I just spend it, as I presume you would, say, a 2008 nickel. ;-)
I think the additional 47-97 cents are mostly the shipping cost - it probably costs more than that to send a coin to USA. :-))
Still, if it isn't, I would be very happy to get rich on common coins. ;-) (Imagine if someone was paying you 50 cents for a Lewis-Clark nickel - that sort of thing. Even more so, actually - L-C nickels are probably rarer and cost 50% more.) Are non-steel (early) 2009 rubles also as valuable?
In short: I would gladly trade my ruble for the remaining three Lincoln bicentennial cents, and I imagine the American on the other side might actually be willing to add a territory quarter to his part (as I would a steel 2 or 5 rubles; BTW, forgot to ask - what is their value, then?) But in terms of exchange rate, one rouble for three cents is actually almost exact - whatever the people on either side think. ;-)
But we've got carried away... let's return to the list.


[5 pesetas, Spain] 1985 ???? not listed
Sorry, my Spanish is near zero: does "Cien" really mean 5? I'm sure about 1985, though.
Cien means 100 about $0.75

What's the value for the 1984 one, then?


And another bunch of values I forgot:

1 ruble, Russia, 1992 (I have both M, L, and whatever's the third one that looks like ?MD)
10 cents, Canada, 1994 (really shiny, I didn't expect such an early date when I looked)
10 rubles, Russia, 1992 (sorry, didn't look at the mintmark)



PS: I know I'm really early by your time zone; but it's 2:40pm in mine. If possible, respond before your 3pm (which happens to be my 11pm) ;-)




...So what, how?

Yes, most 1967 had lower mintage.

http://www.ciscoins.net/ru2003e.htm

how much it costs? (The book, I mean.)
$8.99 but just explore the URLs I pasted for more info.


Are non-steel (early) 2009 rubles also as valuable?
They are the about the same.

Trade would be a better option, if you join a good coin forum this can be worth it. You can trade common coins with others just for the price of a stamp.


[5 pesetas, Spain] Cien means 100
What's the value for the 1984 one, then?
About $0.75


1 ruble, Russia, 1992 (I have both M, L, and whatever's the third one that looks like ?MD)
About $0.25 each

10 cents, Canada, 1994 (really shiny, I didn't expect such an early date when I looked)
About $0.10

10 rubles, Russia, 1992 (sorry, didn't look at the mintmark)
About $0.25 unless magnetic then it's $1.50


PS: I know I'm really early by your time zone; but it's 2:40pm in mine. If possible, respond before your 3pm (which happens to be my 11pm) ;-)

I have a 1976 Netherlands 1 gulden that looks like it has a frosted background of the shield and a slightly frosted portrait of Queen Juliana. It has lots of scratches though even though it is really shiny. Could this be a circulated proof?

No. From what I understand they did not issue proof coins in 1976. It could have been a "Fleur De Coin" coin which is like select-uncirculated but with all the scratches it has no extra value above $0.30.

You know, when I was a high school student living in Bangkok, Thailand (child of an expatriate U.S. family), when our high school took trips to Europe, we used to bring some 10 Baht coins with us to use in vending machines. It was a great way to turn 25cents (at the time - Feb 2001) into 2 euros. The European kids from school told us about it. Too bad they have figured out a solution to this little problem. It was good while it lasted!

I also wanted to say that I enjoy reading your blog from time to time. I also go through my change in an obsessive compulsive manner. Been hoarding coins since the age of 4!

Found a 1965 (no mint - P) Quarter the other day. It an error coins, missing the complete nickel clad on the reverse, with some of the clad missing on the obverse side. It's in F-12 grade - people must have mistaken it for a crappy coin, while in truth its a valuable gem! My guesstimates put the coin at around $50-100. But it's all speculation. A very unique error. What's your take?

About $60.00 but it can double in value depending on eye appeal. Your guesstimate is fairly accurate.

Thanks for the kind words and story and keep on collecting.
