A member that posted recently, one I had not seen before and forgot to welcome......... Dennis88......... WELCOME......
He prompted me to look at some of my coins from the Netherlands.

Here are a few and if anyone has an estimate of value I would appreciate it (I do have a few more

..)
Most modern coins and one a little older..

What Ya think?

Gosh..... are my coins and/or photos so bad?
I don't think so........

1jester · December 10, 2003 10:26PM

Newbie, your coins are

I love the lions!!

newbiecollector · December 10, 2003 10:29PM

... So do I......... had seen the post from Dennis last night (my time) and got out my bag of Netherland coins. I found I have several 1800's ones.

Nice coins and decent values as far as catalog prices go.

Problem is buyers are few and far between. As such many coins have substantial discounts and when it comes time to sell dealers aren't willing to pay much.

The Antillies seem more popular than the Mother country.

Netherlands appears out of favor at the present time as are other countries. (Belgium comes to mind)

Thanks for the info... I do have a few Antillies.... I just did not post them now..

Thanks again.

Wayne -I think your photos are very good - Man I love that standing lion design - that's what makes world coins so much fun - an incredible amount of variety!!

The prices on these moderns are probably overstated by Krause. They are great
coins and were not saved in massive quantities as many coins were but these are
not that difficult to find and the demand is not substantially greater than for similar
coins. There are many of the later date coins which list for a few dollars which are
nearly impossible to find and these will more likely bring catalog prices when sold.
Even with these though, there is limited demand for later date coins and finding a
buyer can be difficult sometimes.

I think your coins, and photography are great newbie! In my time period the really expensive coins are the ones from Nappy's bro Louis as King. Before and after they are available at reasonable prices in decent grades but for those few years coin and medal prices are astronomical!

<< <i>I do have a few Antillies.... I just did not post them now. >>

What on earth are your first two Wayne

The Antilles are also known as the "West Indies". Here's one from the East Indies. (The true color is very similar to your 1959 coin.)

Well thank you all for the comments......... I do have a few more modern and older ones which I will photo and post later.

Some of these more modern ones ( that I have ) are in great condition, in my opinion anyway.

At the risk of being Pushy.. here is a nice coin that has survived, very well, for more than 80 years

No comments?

Nice. If it's of any interest, I have a tentative grading guide for cents with scans HERE, about 1/3 the way down the page. It needs improving but I haven't gotten around to it.

Dennis88 · December 11, 2003 4:26PM

Great coins all!!

When I'm home today (I'm now at school:-( I will check my books for the value of those coins. I will post then also the answers on the questions from the other thread.

Cheers,

Dennis

Dennis88 · December 11, 2003 4:27PM

BTW I have both books on pricing dutch coins (mevius and NVMH), and those prices are very well in comparison with the dealers prices.

Dennis

newbiecollector · December 11, 2003 6:12PM

Thanks Dennis. I look forward to get an idea on prices.
I have a few more i could post......

cosmicdebris · December 11, 2003 7:21PM

Those are some great looking Lions.

newbiecollector · December 11, 2003 7:23PM

I thought you might like the "roar" Bill........

Wayne, now, when I have seen your FANTASTIC pictures of those cents-coins, I won't accept your explanations, that you need to learn more about coin's photography, to complete your site's pictures!

newbiecollector · December 11, 2003 7:57PM

Nick,
It is my excuse. I refuse to admit I am just lazy.........

1jester · December 11, 2003 10:53PM

Ahhhh, Newbie is busted!!

By the way, I just love that lion on the 1916 cent!! I've never seen a lion with dominoes....

Dennis88 · December 12, 2003 2:48AM

Allright, here we go......

Wayne, your first coin,(Nederlandse Antillen 1 c 1961 in dutch) is worth around $4.
The second one, Nederlands Antillen 2 1/2 c 1959 is worth around $12
The third one, Nederland 2 1/2 c 1877 is worth around 5 $ it is the first year coin from that type.

The nederland, 1 c 1916 is worth around 40$ it is a really nice FDC (kind of a mint state) example.

Cheers,
Dennis

newbiecollector · December 12, 2003 2:51AM

Thanks D88....... Much appreciated.......

Dennis88 · December 12, 2003 2:52AM

Roy, your coin (nederlands indie 1/2 c) is worth around $1.

Dennis

Dennis88 · December 12, 2003 2:54AM

dimitri, your coin, is exactly the same as that from Roy. It only has a more nicer color in dutch eyes:-)

I hope I helped everyone.

I was in the Netherlands for a few hours earlier this week. Love Schiphol airport! Schiphol is the best place in Europe to get a wide cross-section of Euros.

I was also in Madrid for 24 hours this week and Frankfurt for about 1 hour. I'm now in Singapore til after Christmas
