If you please, I was wondering the value of the following:
1912 5 Gilden Proof Like BU
and
1948 5 Peso Proof Like BU. This coin is what the Texas Ranger Badge is made of, pretty cool!
thanks for your help

The "5-gilden" sounds like you mean 5-gulden from the Netherlands?
Did they make Texas Ranger badges out of coins? I didn't know that. I assume you'd be meaning a Mexican 5-peso coin, then? Several other countries struck pesos.
Concerning the 5 Mexican Peso, yes I was told from a Texan historian, that they once made their badge from a 5 Mexican Peso.
Appreciate your value reply.
KM465, .900 silver/.8680 oz.
2009 catalog price = $13.50 in BU, but you can throw that out the window since today's melt price w/ silver @ $30.73 makes the silver in that coin worth roughly twice the book value ($26.67, by today's silver price).
NETHERLANDS, 5 gulden, 1912 (I assume you are talking about a small gold coin, right?)
KM151, .900 gold/.0972 oz.
2009 catalog price = $160.00 in UNC and $200.00 in BU. There were also 120 matte proofs struck- those catalog $800.00.
Krause warns that "counterfeits are prevalent". But if it's got the right gold content of nearly 1/10 oz., you're lookin' at almost 138 bucks by today's gold price of $1,415.50/oz.
