I recently inherited one of those "Coin Sets of All Nations" issued by the Franklin Mint in the early 1980s. I don't think they are "proofs" (not entirely sure what a proof is, but I don't think these qualify), but I do know that they are uncirculated. I know very little about coins, but my research is leading me to believe my set from China may have a winner in it; it contains a 1981 5 Fen coin.
Here is the complete list of all the coins in my set:
1981 5 Fen
1982 2 Fen
1982 1 Fen
1981 5 Jiao
1981 5 Jiao
1981 1 Jiao
1981 1 Yuan
Can anyone tell me a little about what I have here? Am I sitting on some real value?
China 1981 5 Fen and others...
