Question
I have a collection of coins from several countries and I found one from 1760 that I believe to be from Sweden and I would like to know the value of it, I am enclosing the pictures for you to take a better look and give me your opinion, thanks

Hi Gustavo, There were 558,000 of these copper Swedish 2 ore coins minted that year during the reign of King Adolph Frederick (1751-71). There were 96 'silver money' (SM) ore to a Riksdaler. It weighs 28.3 grams. It may be worth about $8 with that amount of wear and with the rim 'dings' depending on amount of collector demand.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
