swap evaluation

6 posts



Hi I got a swap request and I wanted to ask if those 2 coins are worth 45$. My swappartner from romania says they are in xf- condition and a good bargain. Please help.

Probably he claims that´s xf- but in reality it´s not.
If they were XF, $45 is a good bargain.
If they were VF, then $45 is a little too much.
I would put them at F or F-.

Justification:
On the obverse of the 1 Leu, there is almost no hair or beard detail, and on the reverse, the girls face and dress detail is very worn.
Similarly for the 2 Lei, although this is in a little better condition.

That would be how I would grade a UK coin of similar age, but feel free to disagree, as I may be being a little harsh.

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
2 Lei - F+ but cleaned

1 Leu - junk. It looks like it has been cleaned with an orbital sander.

Find another swap partner.
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.

Thank you for your fast responses and correct opinions.  :`

Yes of course i know that they are massively overpriced and scrap. I just wanted to post a example of an blatant scam attempt from a user that also like to snitch.

Spot+10% for 1 Leu = 2.25usd + book for the 2 Lei at Fine (6.00usd) = 7.25usd
