1901 Cyprus 3 Piastres grade

Snagged this lovely coin.

Can anyone give me a guess grade. I would say VF -    But that is me.

Sorry Barnabus, but although the pictures aren't great, it's way too worn for any type of VF.

So Fine is all I can hope for, I think it is not too worn to say F+, all details and legends are visible. The rim has melded into the coin yes, but I really think it's not as bad as it looks. Specifically because of the dots on the Rev are all separate, and none of the words touch or join the rim.

I think it is still a nice buy for $20.00 even USD

$20 may be a little much In that grade I would say. I only paid around £2 for 2, I only have one now I think I gave the other one to Neilithic.  Swings in roundabouts though, I've had some bargains and have over paid heat of the moment and that ha !

300000 mintage. Value in VF is $70.00

I don't think I overpaid, I am happy with it :)

That's all that matters mate I've just bought a coin for $7 over its book value but I've wanted one for ages and they seldom come up for sale.

I will probably still do it again since nearly all of the coins I now need are getting scarce "/

Anyone know how many around coins (guess) are in 1 pound of coins?

I ask because I snagged 500 coins mix lot for $0.06 per coin

I recently bought a 25lb bag which contained around 2250 coins, so about 90 coins per lb. 6 cent a coin average will work out about $5 per pound. Anything under $10 per pound including postage is good in my view.

I'd say you got a pretty good deal.

I think so too, because I don't know a coin that would sell for under $1.00 even new ones, if someone wants a coin, they will pay $1.00, and book value on any coin I have ever uploaded is always more than $0.10, so at the very least, I made $0.04 per coin book value, probably more.

Damn, 25lbs, where do you find such high quantity coins?
