how do i know how valuable my old stamps and foreign money is?

Question

i have a lot of foreign paper money from places such as Berlin Germany, Japan, France, Italy, China, Egypt and other ones that are worth a couple hundreds and even thousands, but i m not sure where all of them are from. The most expensive ones include a 20,000 Mark 1923 'Reichsbanknote' from Berlin and a 1922 5000 Mark. I think they were collected by someone in the Us army, so there are a variety of bills. The stamps range from the 1930s to the 90s and again, come from a variety of places and amounts.

Answer 1

You could try a stamp dealer but world coins is another matter. Most world coins have little value, unless they are old as well as big and made of silver. World coin dealers are divided in what they specialize in due to it being such a vast field. If I knew what you had such as the dates, denominations and countries I could help in finding values. there are no site to go too for it is mostly dealers trying to sell you something. Going on eBay is too time consuming. your best bet is dealers so see if a world coin dealer is near you or maybe a coin club could help, see is one is near by. Hope I have helped soom here.

Answer 2

you could go on ebay and look for similar things that have already sold.

You'll need to know something about condition grades too.
A good rule of thumb for American stamps seems to be adding up the value of your collection from a good price guide and dividing by 5. This is what stamp collections seem to sell for on ebay at least.
