Question
I have a set of commenorative coins Dec 5, 1963 celebrating kings 36th birthday. 2 coins of each are 20 Baht silver, 1 BAht 3 cycles of life, 1 Baht silver, 50 Stangs bronze, 25 Stangs bronze, 10 Stangs bronze, 10 Staqngs copper, 5 Stangs copper, 1 Baht commemoration of Europe tour, 1 Baht nickel, 25 Stangs tin, 10 Stangs tin, 5 Stangs bronze, 5 Stangs tin, and 1 Stang tin. All of them are in a protective case. Where would I sell them and what do you think they are worth?
Thanks you so much for any information you can give me. Sheila
Hi Sheila,
This official mint set had a limited run of 100,000 sets. Currently it would retail for around $50, but can be up to $75 with the right buyer.
If broken up, only the silver 20 baht coins would have any significant value, of $15 to $20 each. The 1 baht coins are all copper-nickel, Thailand did not make any silver coins in this denomination after 1918.
Thanks for the question! =)

Expertise
My specialty is world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries, primarily non-US foreign coins and related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them. I am NOT knowledgeable in paper money/banknotes, ancient or "shipwreck" coins. Thank you.
