Older Coins
April 21st, 2009
Are there any valuable world coins that aren’t made of precious metals or older than 200 years?
I have a huge coin collection (couple hundred pieces) of foreign (non-US) coins. Someone just told me that the only coins like mine that are worth anything are the gold or precious-metal ones. I don’t have any of those, so are there any recent, rare world coins? Resources for world coins would also be appreciated.
There aren’t any recent rare circulation coins, because those are made in huge numbers. There can be rare errors in modern circulation coins that would have high value.
Collector issues are different. They can be made in small numbers and have high values even if struck in base metals.
Your best resource is probably your local library and a copy of the Krause-Mishler Standard Catalog of World Coins.
