Two new medals  
Hi,

The second one, I don't sure the country, 1976 Silver 39mm. Obverse; Bust Pua Casals, leyend; 1976 Centenari De La Naixenga - Pau Casals El Vendrell 1876. Reverse; Music letters with flying doves, legend; Tinguem Amor.Amor I Pau. What is the country and value? Thanks.

Answer
Hi again Ramon,
The first medal is worth $25 to $35 in excellent condition. I have also seen them in silver, these are worth around $75. It should be signed by the medallist Frampton.
The second one is from your country of Puerto Rico. This is a medallic coin, known to collectors as a "so-called dollar". I have seen them in bronze and silver. The bronze ones are worth around $20, but I have not seen any silver ones for sale. I would guess $40 to $50, but that is just a guess.
Thanks again 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.
