    Um, I want to go to THAT auction....!

    I don't know much about that series of coins, but it appears to be a Nueva Granada (Columbia) 2 Pesos, which is indeed gold. The coin if genuine should weigh 3.375g, which at 90% purity yields 0.0976 ounces of gold. The coin has a catalog number of KM#95. My out-of-date catalog gave it a value in Fine of $80 back in 2004, but obviously the bullion value alone has exceeded that.

    Someone with more up to date Canadian catalogs can chime in on the values of those Canadian pieces, which look more than worthwhile for the purchase price.

  • smeyer23, looks like you did pretty well!image

    I don't know much about them either except they're silver and for a buck you can't miss on that deal.
  • Just weighed the gold coin. It is circulated in its condition, but weighed in at 3.22 grams. I feel confident that it is a real gold coin, since the seller was a older gentlemen in his late 80's.

    Sorry I've no time to look up those others for you- gotta dive into the shower and dash off to work. (Graveyard shift, and I'm already tired. Hm.)

    Well, the shilling is rather worn and would push to make 40 USD.
