mojoman

I recently made a impulse buy, it was for a 1970 10 markkaa soumi Findland,I have no idea what the value or metal content is, The reason ,I bought it was because it was called The Scott collection June 5-7 1975 and it was from the American Auction Association Bowers and Ruddy Galleries Inc #02044 I payed 2.99 for it. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks,MoJo

I assume we are talking about this coin? (slow loading page)
50% silver, worth ca $4 (basically melt).
It's a commemorative coin - 100th birthday of Juho Kusti Paasikivi, president of Finland 1946-1956 (he died in 1956)
