krazyace5

Don't usually collect much world coins but I picked some up recently and have a few ?'s

1971 un peso --is this silver?

1923 australian penny

1930 british penny

1916 france 10 cents

1961 two shillings-- silver?

1918 1 franc --silver?

1932 Canada one penny

1969 1/2 franc --ms condition--silver?


Do any of these have any worth?

Thanks for any help

1930 penny - if EF (extremely fine) or better, is worth a few $. Less than EF, it is worth very little. An EF catalogues for around $10.

1961 Two shillings - is made from cupro-nickel as opposed to silver. They are quite common, so only a lustrous uncirculated piece is worth more than a few cents. An UNC fetches $4-$8.
