There is an app called coinoscope, where you can take a picture of coins and it will try to identify them. It's not too bad.
The 1931, 1934, 1947 Panama Balboa dollars were minted in Philadelphia on the American Peace dollar planchet. There's also a 1953 but I'm not sure about where it was minted.
Will B I noticed the weight was the same as US silver dollars, now I know why!
The 1953 one was minted in Mexico City. It was a special issue commemorating 50 years of Republic of Panama ("Cincuentenario" in Spanish). Greetings from Panama!
I’m a filipino I have many of these US-Philippine islands silver coins there is so many here in Manila, the Philippines and sell it for melt value but it’s a very beautiful coin...
"God Zij Met Ons" - "God be with us"
Juliana II was the queen, succeeded by Beatrix, who abdicated a few years ago. So now its grandson on the throne. The writing says "Juliana queen of the Netherlands".
The other coin you thought was dutch is actually German, its a german reichsmark, which they used in west-germany.
Two Thumbs Up for the most interesting video I’ve seen in weeks. By The Way, I have every foreign coin that you discussed and found my self verbally answering your questions as you were introducing each one because of excitement about your world Silver Collection. For the last several months I began collecting world Silver because of a collection that I was able to obtain and I’ve enjoyed researching and learning about what seems to be a trend for many coin collectors.
Kind of funny I started collecting foreign silver myself because I had a problem with my parents stealing my old US silver to buy their cigarettes. Now they realize they can't use 110 yen, 300 pesos, and a few Gulden or Reichsmarks as change. Lol Especially if half of it has been domonitized by their respective countries.
Most of the Panama coins were minted at the Philadelphia mint, too. 1953 was minted in Mexico, which is why it is different.
Great pickup that are a lot of beautiful coins. My favorites are the German 1 and 5 Mark coins (maybe bacause I'm german) and the Dutch rijksdaalder (2½ Gulden coin). Your japanese 100 yen coin is from 1958 (昭和三十三年 year 33 of the Shōwa era)
Great video! Very helpful and informational. Keep up the great work and I will love to see more videos on your channel like this. The books are good but, videos like these are priceless! Thanks for the inspiration!
Interesting to see how the currency was debased over the years... Older coins have higher silver content.
Balboas always sell very well. Foreign coins are my first love so I'm happy to see you show them some love.
I wish I could buy all of this but I'm broke and anyways all the shops are closed. Also, the "Netherlands 1947 1/10 G." is actually from Curacao in the Caribbean.
11:09 "God zij met ons" translates to "God be with us"
Ahh that makes sense.
Don't even speak a word of Dutch and kinda got it still
I’m planning to use your video for a small coin club to introduce my friends to a new silver coin collection.
This is my dream haul. I need to start asking my LCS about their melt tray... I love all things foreign coins, especially Silver! Great video and glad you're starting to get the itch! We need more foreign collectors out there!
Those are some really awesome coins you got there my friend,thank you for sharing.
Super video!!! The artwork and history behind these coins is fantastic!! Thank you
Stay Safe and Healthy!!!
Very cool stuff! I was drooling upon seeing the tray.
Your 1956 Hidalgo said 90% ley the one you posted from online said 720 also I love foreign silver my self and I was hoping you picked up the German state/empire coin coin guy was talking about that he seen in the tray and love the toning on the balboa
Silver is Silver in my book, plus it's a piece of history. Every time I buy a coin I try and think about who held that coin and where it has been. Some of those coins from the 1940's, it makes me wonder if it was on the beaches of Normandy in the pocket of a British G.I or an American. It's history, and the fact that it was destined for the smelter breaks my heart. I'm glad to hear other folks saved those coins from the worst fate imaginable.
Glad you saved those Panama Balboas! 👍🏼🤩 very cool coins. And those Dominican Republic Pesos only 15,000 minted 😳 nice!
Yeah what an insanely low number
Great video love the show got my last silver order today when the price was down keep on stacking bro
That's a really interesting collection you picked up. I really like world silver and do stack/ collect quite a bit. I like researching the coins and their history.
The Dominican peso are worth at least 100-150 bucks
It’s super rare but the demand isn’t as fast as it is being a rare foreign coin.
Markets for theses coins has always been underrated for the past years and a lot of them has a lot of potential in the future and currently are sleepers in the market.
Yes I agree. I have one in xf. Should be worth way more
Yep, you should have taken all the box!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Now you are hooked ; )
Coming to the German Coins I can say they are quite common!
But the old Portuguese one was amazing!
Thanks for sharing!
I find this video compelling. You see interesting coins, learn something and there is always this treasure hunting feel.
Nice bunch of silver! Thanks for the look at them.
You hit jackpot with some of those low mintages
You did really well. Some are low mintage and alot of collectors love old world silver coins. Definitely coin scope can help if your stuck. I buy world silver all the time.
Kewl man!!! Ty for doing this. I have a really nice collection of foreign coins too from my dad & grandfather. I’m in 😍 w the Balboas!!! Acquired a few of those at a LCShow in February!
3:47 this coin from 1954 is worth about $100 it was the last year minted with a mintage of 30,000.
Are you sure it didn't say 1951?
@@TheRetiredVeteran Yes it said 1951 but probably he is talking about the younger brother from 1954
@@pablomalaga4676 I said that this coin 3:47 from 1954 is worth about $100 due to its 30,000 Mintage
Cool coins speg. Thanks for the video brother
The Trujillo peso contains Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, who was the dictator of the Dominican Republic from 1930-1961. He was killed several months after the murder of the Mirabal sisters (only Dedé made it out alive). That coin tends to be rare, since I see examples of that coin on eBay going for over $100.
I love your instant collection! How fun! Some beautiful coins there.
Speg straight up got me with the April fools joke
The last coin in the video, the 1/10 Gulden dated 1943, is not from the Netherlands, but from the colony of Curacao. That makes it scarcer and more interesting. Portugal did similar things: coins that had the mother country's design on the obverse, but the reverse identified the Portugese colony. Thanks for sharing your coin-shop finds!
Nice coins. You did well salvaging them from the fire.
That's actually an eagle on the German coin, not a phoenix. Looks a lot like he got his tail feathers stuck in a light socket, but an eagle none the less!! lol! Great coins my man!
Very cool. Instant world coin collection. The variety and history of world coins is what fascinates me.
I love picking through the bin of foreign stuff at the coin shop. Lots of Mexican and British pieces, with the added bonus that it's all priced essentially at melt. I've scored a few neat pieces, my favorites being an 1893 Japanese yen in beautiful shape, an 1805 5 francs coin, and an 1804 5 shillings/dollar (which were all overstrikes on Spanish 8 reale coins). You got a nice haul here. Lots of history in a nice shiny pile.
This is interesting to me. The variety of coins and the different edges are cool. I don't mind the different silver percentage, the silver still has value especially if you are getting it for the right price. Way to change it up, good Video.
Great content... I always find myself "LEARNING "
Some of the Australian florins (13:55) of 1942 - 44 were minted at the San Francisco branch U.S. Mint. Those have the 's' mint mark beneath the coat of arms.
Cool video! I love American coinage, but some of these foreign coins are gorgeous! Nice pick up, speg!
Speg., Love the Spanish silver coins.
They are treasures by themselves.
The engraving work is lovely.
Thank you 😊👍👍.
Hi Spegtacular, you really touched a special chord with that Mexico Olympic coin. My godfather gave me a few of those when I was a kid back in the 80’s when my family went to visit, and I still have one left. He also gave me a few Un Peso’s. Yes very historical. Great video, I loved the way you cut scene the specs Speg.
Thanks a lot Ricardo. Truth be told, those cuts were a lot of extra work that took a while to accomplish but I felt it would add some more fun to the video. Thank you for appreciating the details :)
Very cool! Like you said, Instant collection right there. I'm surprised how good of condition most of them are in. Hopefully you got a deal on them.
Interesting and beautiful coins. Thanks for sharing.
The balboa's are your best buy. I stacked those when you could buy them in bulk at Apmex, they sell with very high premiums right now
The 1903 Twenty Centavo USPI coin is in pretty good condition for something over a hundred years old. 1945 Coin has seal of commonwealth of tge Philippines our transistory government before independence.wa granted. The mintage was pretty high since they where replacing coins lost in circulation during the war as the silver was sent to the US or dumped into Manila bay prior to invasion. Notice the design is the same and was adopted by the Third Republic called the english series Philippine peso lasted until the 1960s and was the illegal great seal from 1902 to 1903. You have a pretty decent coin purchase. The Japanese coin is an commemorative series coin they have the acension to the throne of their emperor whose symbol is a Phoenix have two of those. But envious that its very easy to get a florin in your area. Plus the shillings I have are not silver anymore.
Both your large Dominican Republic coins have nice Numismatic premiums, especially the 'Trujillo' which is kind of rare..
You've probably heard the phrase "pound sterling" for coins of Great Britain and some of her colonies. The coins were 0.925 fine, as you noted, which is the fineness of sterling silver--hence the term. The denomination of "pound" = 4 crowns = 10 florins = 20 shillings = 240 pence. Part-way through the 20th century, British coins maintained the same size but reduced their silver content.
I did notice the British coins had the lowest silver content of all the coins... that's the cost of WW1 right there.
Great video thanks for the amazing info I’ll start looking for some of those coins
Great video. I'm going to look for some cool junk silver foreign coins.!!!
Wow! Most beautiful coins! That tray was loaded with gorgeous coins. I would've had a field day! Glad you were able to sift through it and get yourself some beautiful coins. Great vid. Thanks...
That Netherlands coin with the words God met ons....Dutch translation is For God With Us. I looked it up because I was curious.
Thanks, SpegTacular !!! And I assume you know you’re a foreigner in: Mexico🇲🇽, Cuba🇨🇺, Panama🇵🇦, Dominican Republic🇩🇴, Philippines🇵🇭, and ALL those other countries !!! That’s why collectors prefer the terminology: WORLD COINS !!! 🌏🌍🌎
Mr. Spegtacular..doesn't know a Caribou, messes up an Eagle...but nails the EMU!!🤣🤣🤣! I'm with you on the Japanese 100 yen though - that's a Phoenix-Chicken if I ever saw one!! With maybe a goose somewhere in the family tree's woodshed! Loved the video, my man!!
I enjoyed the video and the comments as well. Sure can learn some history here. 🤘👍🤘
Dude awesome coins, cant believe you got a 1903 philipina. Remember US minted those coins from 1903-1945 keep an eye out they are basically equivalent to dime, quarter, half and silver dollar!! Beautiful stuff!! Really enjoyed the video!
The mexican Olympic coins with a low centrr ring are considered more valuable
The vn balboas are Worth about twice there melt and are actually in pretty high demand on eBay
Thanks I have one to I had know idea it was silver
Being from Panama seeing those coins rescued from the melt lot was a relief. Those are quite sought after, even here in Panama. From seeing what you bought, the guys from the coin shop were going to destroy quite a few very good valuable pieces.
That's some fancy silver. Love the video during these crazy times.
Another terrific video, saw the one where Coinguy showed the tray and the Balboas immediately caught my eye , very cool and collectable , glad you picked them up . Check out some sites about cleaning them, best is acetone but use caution . Also check Numista site for coin info.
I like that Plata Pura Amigo very nice. Will come in handy in the wasteland.
The 25 peso at 02:53 was a commemorative issue for the 1968 Olympic Games. They were quite popular and featured in coin magazines and dealer listings well into the seventies.
Be glad that you picked up that beautiful Gulden, SpegTacular!
Nooo wayyyy you got those Balboas and Dominican Pesos for a bit above melt! That’s such an awesome deal! I collect South - Central American crown sized coinage and that definitely made me a bit jealous! Nice haul!
Very cool video! I'm not sure if someone pointed it out already but during World War 2 coins for the (then occupied) Netherlands were minted by the US Mint and your 1943 10 cent piece bears the P mint mark of the Philadelphia branch! Just another bit of history that might make your coins even more interesting ;)
The side of the Dutch coin says "God zij met ons", or "God is with us". The last coin shows the Dutch queen Wilhelmina, but is a coin made for the colony of Curaçao.
Hey Speg, this is really cool. I myself love picking through silver foreign lots, in fact I just bought some 1810's silver kopeks from Russia. If you ever need help with foreigns just let me know, I can ID them almost instantly.
Thanks for the video today. Neat coins.
some of those Latin American coins had really low mintage numbers.
They are most likely very rare over here. May be worth bringing to England next time you are there. The coin shop you visted in London may give you a premium . So you could trade up for the equivalent weight in 999 silver. It's worth a punt.
My mom got a lot of foreign coins from her friends that came back from WW 2. I enjoyed them when see showed them to me.
Very nice Spegtacular. You did well to get that lot. That 1916 florin would be of great interest to Australian collectors. They're a bit hard to come by these days. In that grade, around the $25-$30 Aus mark.
The 1966 Aussie 50c is bullion value. Examples are widely available in low to mid range ms grades for around $15 - $20Aus. There are still millions of them around today. Love the old world silver coins. I've quite a lot in my collection, a few examples of which you've shown in this vid. 👍 😉.
I remember the Balboa. I was living in Panama for a bit back in mid to late 1980s. Vasco Núñez de Balboa was a Spanish explorer, governor, and conquistador. He is best known for having crossed the Isthmus of Panama to the Pacific Ocean in 1513, becoming the first European to lead an expedition to have seen or reached the Pacific from the New World.
I love collect any types of Foreign Coins in my World Foreign Coins Collections!!! :D
My favorite Foreign I love collect is old German Coins & Old UK Coins!!! ^w^
Deutschmark is German. I lived in Germany off and on for about eight years. A lot of your foreign coins are bringing back memories.
Speg, I’ve never in my life seen a 1966 Australian 50¢ silver. It’s from the first year of decimal currency here. It’s also our only ever silver coin minted for general circulation. Finally after that first years run where they struck it round they changed it to a dodecahedron in 1969 so it wouldn’t be confused with our 20¢ piece.
It’s rare and worth way more then its face value or even its value in silver. I think you could ask for $15 for it.
1968 Olympic coin is just that... that's when mexico held the Olympic games , my dad used to have a lot of those coins that's the very first coin that got me into collecting coins
The Balboa is cool, but I had no idea the bird on the reverse is supposed to be a Harpy Eagle. On the smaller modern Panamanian coinage the eagle looks more like a seagull, or sparrow, or some insignificant small bird. I found out while looking it up. Bloody Harpies!
And a Dominicano! Very cool.
Hey bro please don't give up on CZcams Ive just subscribed and really enjoy your content and attitude to numismatics as well as other precious metal collecting or stacking. FYI I'm 33 and from Australia. Please don't melt the round 50 or the florin ill pay you over spot for both.
I don’t melt coins :)
"God Zij Met Ons" - "God be with us"
Juliana II was the queen, succeeded by Beatrix, who abdicated a few years ago. So now its grandson on the throne. The writing says "Juliana queen of the Netherlands".
Nice finds on those Dominican coins
The Philippine 20c at 16:51 is another U.S. made coin, from the master mint at Philadelphia. The 1945d 10c is from Denver.
Hi Spegtacular just tuned in. I’ll be back
Back in the '70's my dad's friend used to go to Mexico every year. When he got back, he'd always give me a bunch of Mexican coins. Just pulled out the old cigar box I kept them in, sure enough, they're all silver coins. Now, if only the price of silver would recover.
Cool to see you have some Aussie coins there.
We refer to it as predecimal coins as the only silver coin We have had since switching to decimal was a single year mintage of 80% ag 50c pieces in 1966.
I see you shaved one of those 50c pieces, nice.
The florins are nice too but my favorite are the pre 1946 3 pence and shilling which are also 92.5 silver and depict a wheat sheaf and a ram which were the foundations of the Australian economy at the time.
I really like the reminder of where money comes from.
Also, because they are so small they jingle nicely when you have a handful.
the bird on the german 5 mark is an eagle... very interesting way to depict it
1978’s my birth year! Pretty awesome variety!
A florin is 2 shillings. Australia changed from pounds to dollars in 1967.
The Australian 1966 50 coin was the only round 50 cent coin we made, only one made of silver
Also it is quite collectable with an increasing value
@@bobjackson4720 really? Seems like most places will only take spot for them. I'm sure a bunch have been melted but still loads around.
I have a bunch of them so I hope you are right about increasing value.
I like to keep one on my nightstand as it's a good fidget coin. Its also a good reminder of the devaluation of currency by deflation as it's the only denomination of Australian silver coin that still has a circulating counterpart.
@@teatowel11 In Australia on Ebay they are typically between 10 &15 AUD each. US maybe 7-10.
@@bobjackson4720 sweet, I picked all mine up for under $9 a piece.
1968 Mexico was the Olympic coin.
I got into world coin about a year ago
Love them
And my local coin guy usually sells less then perfect one for just over melt 👌
So much Verity out there
Hi, check the first two coins of 100 pesos morelos 1977, I think you have the variety on the date "77 normal and 77 low". This variety is recognized and certified by PCGS. Greetings from México.
Your 1916 British florin (14:20) is sterling silver (.925). That's why the term 'pounds sterling' was used.
The Un Balboa coins at 04:53 are not only 90% silver, they were struck by the United States Mint at Philadelphia on the same planchets used for U.S. standard silver dollars, They are essentially post - 1935 Silver Dollars.
Can't believe those were going to be melted. Great save on the big Dominicans. So rare I've never handled them. I got the foreign coin itch a long time ago. Little time capsules of history.
Back in 08 thru 2012 I was able to pick up 27 Panama Balboas, 17 Half Balboas, and 30 Quarter Balboas all of off ebay. I kinda like them :)
I do the same thing . Great way to Invest and have a fun collection to Look at and Pass along to the Grandkids :) QC
The Netherlands 1943 coin with Wilhemina on the obverse was minted in the USA at Philadelphia, for circulation in the Dutch colonies of Suriname and Curacao. It is .640 silver. The wartime coinage of the occupied Netherlands was made of zinc and did not feature Wilhemina, who was leading the government in exile.
I just got a package of euro junk in the mail, I am very excited about it.
