Question
I have two coins- first a Gen. Washington As Master, dated 1708-09 and on the back The George Washington Masonic Memorial, Alexandia Va. Dedicated May 12, 1932. Uncirculated.
Churchhill- Elizabeth II Del Gratia Regina F.D. 1965
Hi Ann,
The first item is a commemorative medal, originally made of gilded copper. They are occasionally seen with most of the gilding worn off and sell for $10-$15 in that condition. A mint example with the gilding intact is worth from $30 to $50, depending on if it's sold in an auction or retail situation.
The second is a commemorative crown from Great Britain, made of copper-nickel alloy. It is fairly common and mint condition examples rarely sell for more than $8 or so.
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.
Experience
Collector of world coins since early childhood. Access to a variety of auction records and reference material. You can also find me on Facebook.
