Davey & AF: Cash, Coins, Currency. Any Interest?

You boys have any interest in this stuff?

I have more, but just need to dig them out (US silver proof boxed sets & Japanese boxed set dating from the 14th C. - 1940s). As soon as I have or make time to find them, I'll post images.

The lot below is a mix from ancient Roman to Asian, US, Euro, etc. There's also some old tokens mixed in as well.

They're not my cup of tea nor do I have much interest in this stuff, but knew you guys often purchase these type items. If interested, please let me know...cool?

 

Thanks Davey for the advice, but that's the thing...... I don't want to get ripped by coin buyers/dealers who know more about this stuff then I do. This is why I don't want to list on eBay. I just don't have the time for that nor many different lots at $0.99 etc. Just looking to dump the whole lot so to speak.

The Roman coin I'm pretty sure is authentic, no seams or any of that stuff.

 

Here's some of the other pieces...



If you guys aren't interested, no big deal...I'm sure I can move them. Just thought to run these past you all first before doing anything with them.

 

I wish I could see what you have, a bit better. Have you illustrated everything or just a sample?

It looks much like a couple of well worn Georgian coppers, a Roman something, a double handful of coins from my mixed foreign minors box that generally sell by the pound, a couple of oddments I can't see well enough to identify and a pretty well worn US Note. If that is a roll of modern cents below the note they'd cost more than the face value they are probably worth to ship anywhere.

There is always the chance of something better that's not visible or not clear enough to see.

If you lived next door I'd say, let me have a look and I'll make you a fair offer. I expect Davey might say the same. Trouble is that shipping as a small FCMI airmail package to England would probably cost $10-$12 and even with a following wind I would not expect there to be more than about $50 worth unless there was some hidden gem.
It's one way of unloading but you'll not get rich enough off it to compare with some of the really marvellous things you have presented in the finds thread.

Compared with them this type of material could be used as rubble in the foundations of your palace (although I'd rather you didn't.)

 

Just seen the second lot of pictures. Forget any figures I mentioned, or remember them to the extent that this lot probably stacks up about the same, the silver proofs have a pretty standard value, and the Japanese stuff in what looks like a Whitman style folder is pretty old in many cases but old is not always valuable. The item that looks like a gold plated Ike might just as well stay at home, like the roll of cents.

 

So in other words: "haul a$$ small a$$, we do not want your petty sh!t rubbish lot!!!".

Lol! Only kiddin'...

But thank you both for the advice, much appreciated. My DH and I have no interest in collectible coins or currency whatsoever. I know there's very good money to be made in that field, but as you both may know, our interest and passion is mainly in ceramics and artwork and this stuff just doesn't float the boat. If I recall correctly, it was mixed in with a box lot/s of jewelry we purchased last year. It's been sitting around basically collecting dust.

Again, thank you both for your time and advice.

 

Yeah, I was thinking of that, but don't want some scummy buyer/dealer picking over what he/she wants from the lot after receiving it, then filing a SNAD or wanting to return the lot because they've changed their mind. That's what I/we really have no time for. I know it doesn't happen often, but it does happen from what little I've learned on the coin board over at the other place.

 

Davey and I seem to be of one opinion regarding value. Paradoxically, the US items could do better in Europe because we don't see so many of them and are not obsessed with plastic slabs.

 

Just to throw in my two cents, if I had the Ike, I'd be wearing it. As a valuable piece of jewelry it's not much, but it's a conversation starter. Those sales tax tokens might be worth a flyer; you won't run into the hard core coin idiots with those, or at least it's less likely. You could consign the rest to a local auction house and let THEM deal with the headache. OTOH if I had the foreign coins and the right drill, they'd be jewelry before the month was out. Low value coins make great bracelets.

 

@Eve, thanks so much for you comment and thoughts. Thank you!

Ok, I took some images of most of the coins, but not all (no tokens). I tried to separate them by country and/or ethnicity. The last few images are of mixed coins, the oldest US coin and the Roman piece.

Anything of value here?
