CoinQuest Response
German States Bavaria 1, 3, and 6 Kreuzer 1806 to 1825Sir or Madam --

You have a 6 kreuzer coin from the old German State of Bavaria. They are minted with the bust of Maximilian IV Joseph (ioseph) and LAND MUNZ (country coinage) on the reverse side. The denomination, 1, 3 or 6 kreuzer, appears on the reverse as well, with kreuzer abbreviated as K.

These silver coins carry decent numismatic (coin collector) value, even when they are heavily worn. There are not many specimens left, and collectors want to add them to their collections. The coin in our picture comes from Munzhandlung Ritter in Dusseldorf, Germany, and CoinQuest thanks them for use of their coin photo.

The listings below give approximate catalog values for all dates in the series. Be sure to use our Important Terminology page to help interpret these catalog values.

worn: $6 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $10

CoinQuest Response
Italy 1 Lira, 2 Lire, and 5 Lire 1901 to 1907Congrats, Mike. You have a valuable coin. If it is genuine, it carries quite a bit of numismatic (coin collector) value. Vittorio Emanuele III reigned from 1900 to 1946, and these early coins from his reign are quite rare. To be valuable, the coin must have the imperial eagle on the reverse side.

Our picture comes from Emporium Hamburg where this nice-looking specimen is on sale for 250 euros, about $330 US dollars. CoinQuest thanks Emporium Hamburg for use of their coin photo.

1 LIRA
worn: $10 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: #20
well preserved: $70
fully uncirculated: $300
1 lira coins dated 1905 are rare, worth $300 in average circulated condition

2 LIRE
worn: $100 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $300
well preserved: $800
fully uncirculated: $2000
2 lire coins dated 1903 are rare, worth $3000 in average circulated condition
2 lire coins dated 1907 are common, worth $100 in average circulated condition

5 LIRE
worn: $15000 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $25000
well preserved: $50000
fully uncirculated: $70000

Now, Mike, go find a 5 lire!

NEVER CLEAN A COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE.

Two additional points: (1) all valuable coins are counterfeited, be sure yours is genuine, (2) convert the catalog values above to actual buy and sell values using our Important Terminology page (link at upper left).

CoinQuest Response
Here is our standard blerb on modern commemorative coins. In general such coins are worth about 1/4 to 1/2 of their retail price. This comes from normal retail mark-up. If you have a coin that is made of gold, silver, platinum, or palladium, it is worth the value of the precious metal it contains. Look on the coin to find the metal content, then go to Kitco.com (or a similar web site) to find the current value.

Please note that our questionnaire explicitly asks that coins be dated before 1940 to qualify for a free appraisal. Coins dated after 1940 can be valuable, but they derive their value from subjective properties like certificates of authenticity, slick packaging, and intense marketing, not from objective factors such as demand from coin collectors.

Governments of (just about) all countries in the world have figured out that people are willing to pay dearly for commemorative coins. So governments issue them and sell them at very high prices. This is practiced extensively in the US, Canada, and Europe, but it is certainly not limited to these countries.

Minting technology has progressed to the point where modern coins can be made artistically beautiful. Some are abosolutely exquisite. Modern commemoratives, especially proof issues, make wonderful collectibles; they should be purchased as such. Modern commemoratives should not be purchased for collector value, for investment, or for gifts to the grandchildren with the hope 'these will be valuable some day.' In all likelihood, they won't be.

We have a somewhat lengthy discussion of buying gold and silver coins as investments at this CoinQuest link. It does not apply to modern commemoratives, but to bullion coins made out of gold and silver. Remember, however, that we are just coin collectors, not investment advisors!

At CoinQuest we attempt to provide estimates for coins that have established collector value. The value is based on supply and demand in the free coin collector market. Demand comes from collectors who want to add coins to their collections. Supply comes from the dwindling number of coins available as they become older and older. Professional catalogers monitor the coin market and publish their findings. CoinQuest reports these findings for specific coins and specific situations. We also tell you things that not all catalogers freely admit.

Sometimes governments limit supply of modern commemoratives to force price upward. At CoinQuest we have decided not to follow such movements because the fluctuations are artificial.

In summary, your modern commemorative coin makes a nice collectible. Unless the value has been raised by artificial means, the value of your modern commem is equal to its bullion value or, if not made of precious metal, 1/4 to 1/2 of the value you paid. This is how much a dealer would normally pay to buy the coin back from you.

Back in 1685 Swiss coins were minted by the individual cantons (states) of the region, and 'helvetia' does not appear on them. You probably have a modern (post-1879) rappen which has been banged up. Its poor condition makes it essentially worhtless. See our page here.
