i am trying to find the value of old coins and foreign money can anyone help me please....?

Answer 1

Value depends largely on the condition and scarcity of the coin. Value is also dependent on the current market demand.

Your best bet would be to take your coin to a local coin dealer. They will be able to tell you more by evaluating the condition of the coin. They will also know the amount minted and what it is going for in today's market.

You can also post pictures on this website (there are many coin experts here that can help you evaluate it - there also may be people willing to buy if you are trying to sell):

Good luck!

Answer 2

There are no sites that really can help you that are free. A world coin site would have to be huge and would take many people to maintain it. At least for now it is not practical due to costs. A few of us here on Yahoo answers have a lot of knowledge between us and if you listed the coins we could ballpark them for you. Of course it has to be a few a time for we all have other duties and have only so much time here. Photo's or good scans also help a lot. To give you an idea it takes 5 books a few are almost 4 inches thick to just cove 1601-2007. The cost of the books is over $250.00 and they change very often. Give more info and I will see what I can do for you.

Answer 3

As a budding numismatist from days gone by, I can answer you this way. The value of older coins rest on various factors, including their quality, age, mistakes, where and when minted. Old coins in mint condition are so rare they are like hens' teeth >> viz > mint, ex-fine, very fine, fine, very good, good....as for the rest, etc. Some coins minted in England, the 1936 sixpence, for example, are so rare, you might pay upwards of $40K for them. Most coins are of interest only, and worth their face value. Most coins are easily forged.

I hope that that is of some help... Kind regards.. Antony
