Posted on 21:15 by Unknown
What kind of coin detail that you should be looking for in your coin? When you want to sell your coin, you need to find out the detail of your coin as much as possible. It is important so your buyer will know what exactly is you're selling. A brief coin detail will also helping you on selling your item since buyer can easily find what they are looking for with your sale. I will be using this Malaya coin as an example what kind of detail you need to for in your coin. You can find out about your coin detail via book or world wide web. I am using K.N Boon Book as a reference; Malaysia, Brunei & Singapore Banknotes & Coins 4th edition.

1. What is the origin of your coin?
You need to find out, where do your coin originated from. Which country, is it an obsolete coin or still for circulation? Looking at this coin for example, this is a Malaya coin. Malaya already changed to Malaysia in 1957 so this is one of the obsolete coin in this world.
