Free price guide resource?

comma

I am interested in buying one or 2 nice world coins, and don't really want to invest a lot of money in books...but I'd like a resource just for pricing a few coins. I am mostly looking at British money and some Canadian (at this point). Is anything, updated, that has coins from say mid 19th century til present available? Just curious. Thanks!

I would say go with auction archives. Coinarchives.com was a great site until they severely limited the search history so that people pay to get access to it. Hertage keeps all the sales, so I use them quite often. I'm sure other auction houses do as well.

I've not tried it yet, so I can't say how good it is, but you might check out this link.

World Coin Price Guide

You might consider letting us all know how useful, or not, it turns out to be.

Doesn't work very well, has no coin values, and very few entries (doesn't have a single entry for British Halfpennies...now that doesn't make any sense)
thanks for the link though

It does have a halfpenny section w/prices. I admit though it isn't the easiest thing to use:

use the drop down menu

select Great Britain, All Regions, and 1/2 penny

The NGC site referred to has the complete world coins price guide prices in it.

I guess some categories are more complete than others. Example: U.S. Philippines 1918-S Large 'S' One Centavo.

They started charging for their full search capability a while back. Now it's $600 a year. Unless you're a serious researcher, it would be hard to justify that fee.
