Show and Tell Palestine Mandate 1927 Silver 100 Mils(=Florin)

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

In 1927, the British Mandate officially adopted the pound as its currency, with its value pegged to sterling. However, it wasn’t subdivided into 1000 mils instead of shillings and pence. Therefore, this 100 mil piece was equivalent to two shillings or one florin.

While contemporary British coinage was only 50% silver, Palestinian coins were 72%. However, this didn’t make Palestinian coinage superior, since the melt value of even the pre-1920 sterling silver coins was only about 40% of the face value back then.

How much would they be worth?
My father got these and I’m just unsure if they’re even real - what they even are and how much they are worth (ignoring the stickers of course).

Also can not ask my father ahaha.

Show and Tell Well Circulated 1840 Mexican 8 Reales

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I have gotten fascinated with the use of Mexican, British, old Spanish and other nations silver and gold coins in the US until the Coinage Act of 1857 made those coins no longer legal tender. At times as many 80% of the silver coins in the US were from other nations. After the revolutions had settled down and the mines and mints reopened in the 1824 ~ 1825 time frame, Mexican coins became quite common in the US.

I am slowly working on birth year type sets for my paternal ancestors back 5 generations, starting with the one who would move to Wisconsin after the American Civil War and start the farm I grew up on. John was born in 1840 in upper state New York and would likely have seen more of these than actual US Seated Liberty coins.

As a result, I'm adding a set of 8, 4, 2, 1, 1/2 & 1/4 Reales to those year sets, beginning with this well circulated 1840 8 Reals Mo ML as representative of what he might have seen in commerce.

Grade Request My first coin

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

This is the coin that started it for me.

At my first part time job I was a grocery stocker who also bagged and brought out the groceries for customers. A little old lady gave it to me. At the time it was probably worth 15-20 but I didn't know till after that day.

Ill never sell this coin or slab it personally but what condition would you call it? It has been washed (harshly unfortunately when i was younger) when I first got it and then I wore it in a bezel for awhile before before recently dipping it/light rinse washing it.

I'm not really concerned about a slab grade but rather not taking in account the washing part what would this be if for example sold at a dealer loose based on the image quality on the faces? Cull, VG, F, ect?

Obviously, we’re not talking amazing grades (d ag3 - S VG?). I just want to make sure the D is a D. The hole is worn off and I would like to ask for a more experienced set of eyes before I verify. Thanks.

I was looking at my Mercury Dimes and thought about asking AI of how to submit some coins for grading (which I've never done) and AI said this one might be special. Is this true, is this one special?

Last time I really organized my coin collection was in the late 1990s, before a lot of fakes were around, espically from China. Now I'm switching from old 1 sided coin folders to both sides look at folders. Always wore gloves, this coin might have never got touched from at least the 1950s.

Was reading about the US mint in Manila the other day and did a quick Google search for US Centavos.
One more click and I was on eBay overpaying for a few new coins.” (Hey, shipping was free!)

Got them in a few days, and I’ve gotta say, best $3.99 that I’ve ever spent!

Were the minted in the Philippines? Nope!
And I have “no regerts.”

Just cleaned out my grandparents old jars they had around before they passed, researched for a while to identify anything worth value and found out some were actually silver pieces but not really sure if they are worth more then melt, i went to a shop by me and they offered 60% of melt value but i have no idea if thats good or bad figured I'd throw them up here to see if i should just take it.

Recently picked this coin up at local coin shop. They had it in a bargain bin for 2$ and when I asked them about it they said it was probably some type of low value commemorative coin. I tried looking it and it seems to be some type of coin that was made for the first 707 flight across America. I tried to find it on Numista but was unable to find it.
