While searching my room for my watches the other day, I found a small metal box that has been long forgotten, it was given to me when I was much younger by my late grandfather. At the time, also don’t know what are this for so just keep it aside. Inside the box are some ancient gold coins. Not too sure how much will this coins worth, any members here have any knowledge on this coins, can give advice? Will up load picture soon.

I called up one of the auction house before. Think it is somewhere near Le Meridien.
The fella said those coins/currency in circulation on the streets last time are not worth valueing.
I don't know if he is trying to smoke me or not.
So if I have banana notes from WWII, it implies they are not going to worth much since it was in circulation during WWII.
How can that be?Comment

my 2 cts worth.
i used to collect coins/paper banknotes. sold off a part of my collection last year liao
several factors that will affect the value of coins/banknotes
- economic environment (not a good time to sell now)
- demand (from collectors, both local and overseas)
- the rarity of the coin/banknotes (some rare stuff will cost u a bomb)
- condition of the coins/banknotes
you can bring them to auction houses for valuation.
2 local houses i know: mavin (started by a retired justice) & monetarium, located at the adelphi, opp funan). they accept consignment thru-out the year"The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...

All these stuff I think can fetch the gold value..for majority of it....I am not really a coin collecter but heard from my dad that my grandfather also got the $150 Singapore gold coin at face value

Just wonder all this stuff worth how much, can buy 118238 Day-Date?Originally posted by Darkangel View PostComment

And that...$150 gold coin is worth quite abit coz of the gold value appreciation
Anyway...if u were to sell all...value is pretty close...u can get about 20k? well that's just an estimation based on 26 coins at about 1/2 ounce each..top up alittle more and u could get 1 no problems

Old coin
Hi! Just 2 cents thought. Why not post on coin auction and then let nature take its course. ( Of course, you can have some reserve prices if it is too low). Or probably get a local anthropologist to check it out.Comment

Hi bros, thanks all for the responses and advices. Will check out with the shop opposite funan centre, came across this shop before.Comment

There is a shop at LP basement, near to a foodcourt... you can check with them...
I think if you can fetch more than a thousand dollars for those coins, you are lucky....Comment

Oh this 2 shopsOriginally posted by Darkangel View Post
, went there before during weekend. Each time i step in they don't seen to be interested, like i made of glass...LP that shop even worst, don't even want to look at your face...just wonder why they set up business for? Maybe, they should put up sign board and state "WE DO BIG DEAL ONLY"!. FC that old man, once when in and ask him to show me 1803 just refuse to show me. He replied, my display got so many Rolex which 1 you talking about". I suppose in any business be it small or big, we should do our best to deal with it....
