Annahen13 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hi, I recently inherited coins that i would like to sell but I am having the hardest time. The World coin price guide is very confusing to me and i cant figure it out at all. I have identified most of the coins tn the collection (denomination, composition, country and year) and i was wondering is there some sort of website or system or something easier where i can upload pictures and descriptions of each in one place and people would just come and buy it. I know it sounds very silly but i have been struggling with this for a while now. Thanks for any and all help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Take a look at the offerings on ebay. It's one of your best bets unless you have some true rarities. In world coins you may want to consider selling some as sets or lots from particular countries are areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Mind posting some of what you have? From my experience, most world coins made after about 1960 have almost zero value, and can only be sold in lots or by the pound if you hope to profit after shipping costs. There are plenty of foreign coins that do have a collector market. Any silver will sell on eBay, as will most everything from the 1800s. I have noticed that some coins, especially the bronzes from late 19th century Scandinavian countries, have a very inflated catalog value--this is because they are very popular with collectors... in Scandinavia.

Finn235 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Interesting collection. I do see a few valuable coins: Egypt 5 piastres 1917 (first image) - about $5-10 US Walking Liberty half - about $5 2001 UK 2 pounds - ~$3 Most of the rest are going to be worth somewhere in the $0.25-1 each range. My suggestion is to sell the whole lot on eBay. Image it as a pile of coins, and make sure the silver, UK colonial (South Africa and India) and "exotic" looking coins are on top and visible. Start it at 99 cents and the lot should realize about $50-75, $100 at a stretch if you get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
