Coin and Paper Money Collecting/1966 PTAS 100 COIN

Question
IS IT WORTH ANYTHING

Answer
Hi Mike, this Spanish 100 Pesetas coin featuring Francisco Franco has the actual minting date in the small stars beside the 1966 date. The most common 1966-68 would be worth the silver value with heavy wear up to about $9 if uncirculated (no wear). The 1969 or 1970 dates would be worth more. This 80% silver coin should weigh 16.0 grams and would contain .4887 of an ounce of silver.

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.
