Well, Mark, that's a cool coin. It is a 1/6th thaler from the old German State of Prussia. In worn condition the catalogs report a value of $8. In average circulated condition, like our example in the picture, the value moves up to $20. A fully uncirculated coin, if you can find one, catalogs over $200. Be sure to understand how to interpret these catalog values. Use our Important Terminology page via the link at the upper left.

Appraisal ok., Tuesday, 28-Dec-2010] CoinQuest Response Some of the very old Canadian 50 cent pieces are worth quite a bit of money. Coins dated before 1936 generally carry a substantial numismatic (coin collector) premium over and above face value of the coin. Modern coins, like the one in our secondary picture with King George VI, are worth face value: 50 cents in Canada. Here are approximate catalog values for *common date* coins dated before 1936: worn condition: $10 to $50 US dollars, older more valuable average circulated: $30 to $100 well preserved: $200 to $500 These are catalog values for undamaged coins. To understand these values, use our Important Terminology page (link at upper left). Cavescott's coin is apparently damaged, so its value goes down to almost zero. It sounds like this specimen had a hold drilled through it and the hole was later filled with some type of material Now there are also several *better data* Canadian 50 cent pieces that catalog above the *common date* prices above. These are listed below. The value shown is for average circulated coins. More wear means less value. Less wear means more value. 1870: $2500 1890H: $3000 1894: $1500 1905: $700

Coins without a reeded edge are more valuable than coins with a reeded edge. Here are catalog values in US dollars: Edge not reeded: $15 worn, $200 fully uncirculated Reeded edge: $1 worn, $10 fully uncirculated Use our Important Terminology page to understand what 'catalog value' means.

Belgium 1, 2, 5, and 10 Centimes 1811 to 1919 A coin from Peter Date on coin: 1839 Mint mark: cannot find a mint mark Size: medium Description: I couldnt find the same one on your site I have what I believe to be a 1939 (theres a hole over last # leopold premier roi des belges 5 cent coin. I havent been able to find another one like it though. On the reverse there is a lion with its right paw on top of like tablets (like what the 10 commandments would be on)that have constitution belge 1831 written on them. The lion has its head turned back looking behind himself. Under the lion and the tablets it says 5 CENTs with a line undernieth that starts after the 5 and ends at the end of the N and the s in cents is a smaller than the other letters and sits on the upper right of the t. The Obverse has a crown up top with what looks like ribbons or banners and around the egde says leopold premi Composition: probably not precious Wear: well preserved Eye appeal: not specified [coin 2892, Sunday, 31-Jan-2010] [Show Singly] CoinQuest Response This is an interesting series of copper coins, Peter. I like the design, it certainly is an eye-catcher. The four denominatios addressed on this page have all the same lion, tablets, ribbons, and crown pattern, but their sizes and dates of issue are different. The values range from a few US dollars to a several 100 US dollars, and even over $1000 for well preserved coins. But, since your coin has a hole in it, the value goes way down, to one-tenth the values quoted below. Sizes appear first, then values. Centime: 17 mm diameter, 1832 to 1863 2 Centimes: 22 mm diameter, 1832 to 1909 5 Centimes: 28 mm diameter, 1811 to 1861 10 Centimes: 33 mm diameter, 1832 to 1856 Most of the dates in the series are what are known as *common dates*. There are a few *better dates*, but most coins are common. There are also quite a few *special minting varieties* of these coins, but such variations are beyond the ken of CoinQuest. If you have one or more of these coins in good shape, i.e., with only a little wear and no scratches, stains, spots and the like, it might be worth searching out a coin dealer or knowledgable collector to get an accurate, first-hand appraisal. DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE. Below you will find the common date catalog value for each denomination. After that, we list the better and key date values. All values are catalog values for undamaged coins. Use the Important Terminology page (link at upper left) to understand how to interpret 'catalog value.'
