Question by xcountry5507: Value of a world's fair token 1982?
Does anyone know the value of an arcade token from the 1982 world's fair in knoxville tenn? I have a few of these and they have popular arcade games from that time printed on them such as donkey kong, pac man, mrs pac man, space invaders, gorf, scramble, and maybe one more. I know the story behind these coins except I don't know what they are worth now. If anyone does know and would like to let me know that would be great! They are all brass in color and in pretty good shape. Thanks

Answer by liberty 911
The other game is Qix which was always one of my favorites. Actually I am not a big arcade game player, but I enjoy Qix. There is no reference book for these tokens, and no one really knows how many were made or given away. The tokens are not really that old, and they are really worth what someone is willing to pay for them. The study of tokens is called exonumia. I hope that helps.

Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Scott Stevenson
Unfortunately, 1963 shillings are common enough that with any wear on them, they're worth very little--it's the sort of item you might find in a coin dealer's "2 for a buck" box.

It's actually not made out of silver, but rather a mix of copper and nickel, so there isn't even the precious metal value to fall back one.

They actually made two versions of the shilling that year--when you look at the back, if there are three lions inside the shield, it's the "Scottish" reverse, and if there is only one lion, it's the "English" reverse. It's something the Royal Mint started doing with shillings in 1937.

Question by Steven: i recently received a coin. it is a " 1967 sterling silver proof of Harry Truman" anyone know what its worth?
the plaque says Sterling Silver Proof 32nd Presidential Coin-Medal Struck by the Franklin Mint Limited Edition__ 1967the front reads "Harry S Truman 1945-1953 33rd president of the united states." and the back reads "Harry S Truman born may 8 1884 Married Elizabeth Wallace 1919. authorized first use of atom bomb signed united nations charter, sent troops to Korea, slogan 'the buck stops here'"

Best answer:

Answer by Scott Stevenson
From what I've seen, it looks like it's got just under one ounce of silver in it, so at the very least, with today's silver price, it's got about worth of silver in it.

While researching, I saw one being advertised on eBay by a dealer for . I'd have to say that's pretty close to the market value. If you were to sell it to a dealer, you'd probably only get the "spot" price of the silver, which isn't an unreasonable spread--if the dealer doesn't turn a profit, he doesn't get to keep his lights on.

Question by Kat: Postmasters of American Token/Coin 1978 Sterling price?
I have a token thats sterling.. it says Postmasters of America on it.. 1978 Commemorative Issue No. 2 Issued January 20, 1978 Honolulu, Hawaii. Is this worth anything?

Best answer:

Answer by liberty 911
Apparently you have a sterling silver commemorative medal of James Cook discovering Hawaii. This is medal No. 2 of a series for 1978 which was sold with a related first day of issue postage stamp. Based on the Buy It Now eBay listings in the second link below, I have to assume your medal is only plated with silver, and I would place the value below US. You might consider taking it to a local coin/stamp dealer or two for an evaluation. I hope that helps.

Question by hiddninja: Malawi 1964 One Shilling worth?
My mother found a silver (coloured, not sure about material) coin with "Malawi" and a man's head on one side, and on the other side, "1964" at the top, "One Shilling" at the bottom, and a picture of what seems to be corn, carrots, chili peppers, or something else along those lines in between those words. She claims someone told her it was worth something, and she wants me to find out but there's nothing online I can find about it, any help?
Thanks in advance.

Best answer:

Answer by Taiping
The 1964 shilling from Malawi, a country in south east africa, had a mintage of 11,900,000 so it is not scarce or rare. The reverse has cobs of corn. The coin is made of copper-nickel-zinc and can be found in a coin dealers world coin box for around .25 cents. The first European to go there was the famous Doctor Livingston. The one good thing about coins, is that not all have a lot of value and collecting world coins and learning about other countries, can be fun and some what inexpensive.

Question by Maddy: Rate my intro? (1-10)?
[Note: Read to whatever point you want to stop]

I don’t remember who found the first dead girl. I think it was one of our regulars, an eighty year old man we coined “King Rolex” for all the fake Rolex's he wore every single time he came in. Who was he trying to impress in a whore house?

I was downstairs with two of the other girls Dee Violet and Emme White. Those were “Stage names”- first initial, favorite color. I was smoking and bitching about how my last customer wanted me to eat my own puke to get him off or something like it when the old geezer came hobbling down the stairs. At first when we saw him, we thought he wanted a foursome. It wouldn’t be the first time a regular tried to get an extra bang for his buck (literally). He had his pants around his knobby knees and his white chest, so pale it was almost see through, was rising and falling in what we took to be excitement pre-orgasm or post.

Vi Blue was dead. It was a shame. She was one of the cleaner, newer girls here. She was a petite. A Latina, with two little girls to support. I don’t remember what happened to them, it wasn’t any of our business. She was lying on the bed, limbs strung out like a rag doll's. Her bed had a metal headboard that I once wanted for my own. Her head was pushed right through it, forced through a tiny space between two of the metal spokes.

Her body was grossly deflated, her skin wrinkled to her bones like a raisin. Blood ran from everywhere: her open eyes, her nose, her mouth, her ears, from between her legs. And then there, on her face, was a smile. A horrible, open, ecstatic smile that pushed her cheeks out like a mask. Blood stained teeth.

I threw up all over Emme White’s shoes and she backed up and called me a bitch. Dee Violet was nice. She ran to get me toilet paper from the bathroom down the hall. I took the flimsy blue ball she handed me and wiped my mouth before wiping at the puddle on the carpet.

If my last customer was here, he would have made me eat it. What a life.

I read up to that, then my glasses needed cleaning.

And then I read the rest. Well, if it's a first draft I give it a 7 or 8 if it's a fully edited draft I give it a ...hmm... 5 or 6 considering how much things change after editing.

Well, that's a good job nevertheless because I almost never give people above 8. I'm very critisizing.
