Russ777 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi can anyone help identify and date this one? Obviously a dutch item. But what is confusing is there is no date. Surely not an early mule coin. Anyone who can help catalogue this coin I would be most grateful. Of course it might just be a token... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marianne Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 The dates on these 5 cent coins are sneaky. Look to the left of the "5" and you'll see the 19. The rest of the date (I can't quite make it out in your pic) is to the right of the "5." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a coin can anyone give a catalogue value/number? I cannot find another one for sale on the main coin seilling sites... Russ777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it's not Silver it's Copper-Nickel. No one really knows how many of a particular type of coin are left, all you can go from are the mintages at the time and the value in the market today. The value is just an estimate really. Unfortunately I doubt you'd get more than a few dollars for it as these particular coins are reasonably common.
