Cool bag of coins from all over the world! Looks like someone was quite the traveller.

Most of the time, assortments like this tend to have more sentimental value than cash value though.

Some folks do collect things like the Mardi Gras or other tokens, and some of other items here and there may be worth a couple of bucks - but largely the mixed world coins bring anywhere from 4/$1 to 10/$1 in most coin shops. Some even sell them by the pound.

If you decide to sell them, including good pictures of everything will help you maximize the value on the lot.

Why not try the World Coin Forum?

Like most accumulations of foreign coins from travels, they are common coins; it would be hard to get $5 for the whole bag.
So the value is mostly in the face value of the US coins:

$2 United States Of America One Dollar Coin 1776 - 1976 quanity: 2
$1.50 USA 1971 Half Dollar quanity: 3
$1.91 Uncirculated Philadelphia. Treasury United States Mint. [assuming this is a mint set with a dollar coin]
$1.91 Uncirculated Denver. Treasury United States Mint. [assuming this is a mint set with a dollar coin]
--------
$7.32 total

Probably best is to divide the foreign coins into piles and give them out to kids in the family for Xmas....

Yes, like others have said world coins seem rare because they are unusual, but for the most part they are fairly common. I don't know squat about foreign coins, so I can't say you have absolutely nothing of value there. Your best bet is to post over in the World Coins forum and ask for some help there.

Thank you for all the replies and suggestions guys! I'll make a post over in the other category and see what I can come up with.

Many of us who have traveled extensively, have such a bag of coins.... while not of significant cash value, they do represent memories.... Cheers, RickO
