99mild Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 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? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yes, the 1981 5f is a key date. Modern Chinese coinage is generally hard to part a value on - easiest way to find out is to put it on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
