Help with world coins please

I have found the following which I have no idea about:

Veneualan Bolivars: two 1935 and one 1911 (they look like silver dollars)

A 1912 Coronae?? Says Franc on the back.

A 1962 25 schilling from Austria

A 1965 silver coin with "Adolf SVERICES...Gustaf VI and Konung on the obverse

Any help would be appreciated.

  • Venezuela, if it's as big as a silvber dollar it's a 5 Bolivares (if it says Gram 25 to the left of the date) and contains .7234 of an ounce of silver. It features Simon Bolivar and the coat of arms. Collector value depends on denomination, date, number minted, mint mark (if any), and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning. There were 1.1 million minted in 1911 and 1.6 million minted in 1935. Both may be worth their silver content value with heavy wear to about $10-$15 with moderate wear to maybe. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.

    Austria 2 Corona, .2684 of an ounce of silver, Emperor Franz Joseph I, 10.245 million, $3-$5 with heavy to medium wear.

    Austria 25 shillings 1962 featuring Anton Bruckner, 2.399 million, .3344 of an ounce of silver, $3-$4 with light wear tto no wear (Uncirculated).

    Sweden, a 1 or 2 Krona coin containing .09 or .18 of an ounce of silver, 18.6 or 1.19 million minted, either one may be worth up to $5 if uncirculated.

    Values can also be much higher for really nice examples of the older coins if they have little or no wear.

  • Thank you Brad. They are all circulated and have heavy, dark, ugly toning.
  • Cleaning them will reduce their value. Maybe a bath in acetone or a longer one in olive oil may help. A paste of water and baking soda with as little rubbing as possible is a marginal alternative.
