Question
Hello, I have a gold 1927 helvetia 20 f coin, any idea what it may be worth?tx so much
Hi Althea, There were 5 million of these 90% gold Swiss 20 Francs coins minted that year in Bern (B). This coin should weigh 6.4516 grams and would contain .1867 of an ounce of gold. It may be worth up to about $200 or more depending on the price of gold, amount of wear and collector demand.
Current gold and silver values: http://www.kitco.com/market/ .
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.
