Question
My son found this coin it has a lady sitting with liberty spikes coming out of her head she is holding a staff it says 1930 on front and 20 cent on back also on front it says Republique Francaise. what can you tell me about this coin?
Hi April,
You have a silver 20 centimes from the French Indo-China colony. This was the area of modern day Thailand, Cambodia and Annam. There were over five and a half million of these coins made in 1930. Value depends on condition and starts at just a couple of dollars for a well used coin. Sharp looking examples with minimal signs of wear sell for around $10 and if you have one in mint condition and still shiny, it's worth $25 to $30.
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.
