Question
QUESTION: I have a set of 5 coins of popes of the XX Century dating from 1958 and I would
like to know how much they are worth.
ANSWER: Hi Chris,
What country are they from, what are they made of, which popes and what years are the coins dated. Also, is there a denomination on them such as 1 dollar, 50 cents etc.
Once I know this, I may be able to help you.

QUESTION: Hi Joe, I believe they are Italian, the Popes are Benedictus XV engraved by Tosini, Pius XI sculpted by Boninsegna, Pius XII sculpted by Mistruzzi,, Pius X sculpted by Galdini and Jean XXIII sculpted by Affer. There are no denominations on them and the only dates on them are the dates the Pope was in office. Thanks for your help!
Hi Chris,
They sound like Papal Medals. That's a whole new ballgame.
There is a dealer by the name of Peter Jencius who deals in Vatican items. The website is www.VaticanCoins.Com
Try him, he is the authority.
