Answer : To find out what your items are currently selling for, I would recommend you go to the eBay auction site -- http://www.ebay.com/ -- and do a search on joe camel. I just did this, and it came up with 655 items! You can narrow your search by being more specific. Don't forget to search the completed items, to see what things actually sold for in the past month.

SINCE THE COIN DID NOT HAVE THE DENOMINATION ON IT, I MEASURED IT AND IT IS 40MM. I TOOK THE COIN INTO A COIN/STAMP COLLECTOR AND HE TOLD ME THE COIN WAS COUNTERFEIT. I ASKED HIM HOW DID HE KNOW THAT. (HE NEVER TOOK THE COIN FROM MY HAND TO EXAMINE IT). BUT ANYWAY, HE TOLD ME IT WAS COUNTERFEIT BECAUSE THE DENOMINATION WAS NOT PRINTED ON THE RIM OF THE COIN. DO YOU ALSO HAVE THE SAME THEORY THAT THE COIN MIGHT BE COUNTERFEIT. Answer : By the size of the coin, what you have could be a Draped Bust, Small Eagle Silver Dollar. However, with the value of these coins being several hundreds to thousands of dollars, it is very possible that you have a counterfeit. All authentic draped bust dollars have the words "HUNDRED CENTS, ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT" stamped into the edge of the coin. With the depth that the letters are stamped into the coin, your coin would have to be extremely worn -- to the point of having little or no details left on either side of the coin -- for the edge lettering to be completely worn off. You should be able to see at least some of the letters on the edge. If you cannot see any edge lettering, your coin probably is a counterfeit. If when you look at the edge, you see what looks like a line or seam that runs along the center of the edge, all the way around the coin, then what you have is a cast counterfeit. Use a magnifier and check the coin's surfaces for the appearance of casting bubbles or pimples. You can also check the coin's weight. An authentic coin should weigh just under 27 grams. Its composition should be 90% silver and 10% copper. Many cast counterfeits use some other kind of base metal or lead, and will either be to light or too heavy. This is a sure giveaway for a counterfeit. Here are some pictures you can compare to your coin : http://www.goes.com/~hope99/1797.jpg http://www.davedubin.com/ebay/C034722p.jpg http://www.davedubin.com/ebay/c034398p.jpg http://www.davedubin.com/ebay/34753p.jpg http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/0007d971/ecoins/1d1797Obv.JPG http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/0007d972/ecoins/1d1797Rev.JPG http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/000dd9c0/investmentraritiesgroup/967654786-picture.jpeg http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/000dd9d1/investmentraritiesgroup/967654959-picture.jpeg Dan Rating : 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- QAId : 3052833 Asker : LMolineux Subject : Help with a collection of mine.

Thank you very much! Answer : eBay offers free image hosting. You can put 1 or 2 pictures in your listing for free. When you go to the selling page : http://pages.ebay.com/sell/index.html you will see an option to Choose your photo hosting preference. When you click on that, you will be taken to a page where you select "I want to use eBay's Picture Services". Then when you click on the continue button, you will be taken back to the selling page, where you select your main category, and continue on with the listing process. The next screen you will see is the page where you upload your picture(s) from your computer to the eBay server. Just click on the first box to be taken to a browse window to select your picture from your computer.

The value of your coin will depend on its condition. If there is significant wear on the coin, then it's only going to be worth the silver it contains -- currently about 30 cents. If there is only a very light amount of wear on the highest points of the coin, then it will be worth about $1 If there is absolutely no wear (uncirculated), then depending on the amount of contact marks visible, your coin will be worth $3-$15 If your coin is uncirculated, has no visible contact marks, and a full strike -- with raised, rounded, and seperated horizontal bands on the fasces on the reverse, then it will be worth about $30 -- unless you find an "S" mint mark on the reverse, near the rim, at about 7 o'clock, then it will be worth about $100 Have fun!

You either have to do a search of the active auctions first, and then go to the bottom of the page and click on the Closed Auctions link. Or you can go here : http://list.auctions.yahoo.com/show/searchoptions?tab=cl to do a search on closed auctions. You can also do searches on eBay closed auctions. It works in the same manner.

Answer : Did you know .... Auguste Renoir (the painter) was born in Limoges in 1841. He became acquainted with the artists Monet and Sisley after training to be a porcelain painter. He joined the Impressionists, without complying with their theoretical dictates. In contrast, Renoir found the subjects for his art in the city life of Paris instead of out in the countryside. Renoir developed his style to include images of the Middleclass life and representation of the female form.

Answer : Did you know ... The connection between Stellenbosch in S. Africa and Limoges in France : In the South African War (Boer War) officers who failed were sent to Stellenbosch, and it became a verb, "to be stellenbosched". In WWI, failed French officers were sent to a depot at Limoges, as in Joffre's verb, "Je serai limogé, tu seras limogé, nous serons tous limogés". The verb "limoger" is still widely used today, and most French people have forgotten the true origin of the verb. When a minister is sacked, he's limogé. It's been heard almost everyday on French TV, for all sorts of jobs, but never more than as a military term.

However, I wouldn't mind putting them on consignment with someone. These are items that I am assuming haven't much value and may take a while to sell/research, etc. Can you suggest a contact for me?

Today I started my search and found my first one. I could not guess the purpose of the object to save my life. It's a case iron green bean cutter. It's cast iron and was made in Germany by BME Regina. Now if you can help me track down more information on this object and other kitchen utinsels on the web I'll be on my way. Any web sites that would offer me information in general on this hobby or specifically on this item would be helpful. Please not where to buy these items as I won't have any problem in that area. Thanks, Ken Brock Answer : Although eBay is primarily a website for selling stuff, browsing through the listings can sometimes provide an amazing amount of previously unknown information. For instance, assuming that this bean cutter is identical to yours, the lister states that it (and probably yours) is from the 1890's.

As for older regular issue U.S. coinage : All Half Cent coins (1793-1857) had the word "cent" contained in the denomination "Half Cent" on the reverse. All Large Cent coins (1793-1857), Flying Eagle cents (1856-1858), and Indian Head cents (1859-1909) had the word "cent" contained in the denomination "One Cent" on the reverse.

All Shield nickels (1866-1883) had the word "cents" contained in the denomination "5 Cents" on the reverse.

Capped Bust half dimes (1829-1837) have the denomination "5 C." on the reverse. Capped Bust dimes (1809-1837) have the denomination "10 C." on the reverse. All Twenty-Cent pieces (1875-1878) had the word "cents" contained in the denomination "Twenty Cents" on the reverse. Capped Bust quarters (1815-1838) had the denomination "25 C." on the reverse. Flowing Hair (1794-1795), Draped Bust (1796-1807), and Capped Bust (1807-1836) half dollars all had the word "cents" contained in the edge lettering : "FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR".

" hard to read. Anyone know when/where these bills may have been printed ? Why all the stamps ? And why it would say Pesos on Japanese money ? Thank you for any help, Turtle Answer : During World War Two, the Japanese government printed currency for virtually every country they invaded or intended to invade. The notes were supposed to be used after their conquest. Your 10 peso notes were printed for the Philippines. These notes are relatively common and can be found at most coin shows for under a dollar. However, there are some rarer varieties, more valuable to a world currency collector. If you can get ahold of a Catalog of World Paper Money -- see http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0873419316/theworkimansrare -- you can look yours up to see if you have any of the rarer issues.

What is it worth? peter Answer : If your tray is a modern reproduction, and in like-new condition, it is worth about $10 If your tray is an original, it's worth thousands. Check it over for things like copyright dates, 75th anniversary logos, etc. This should help determine if it's an original. If you believe it to be an original, you will need to have it appraised first-hand. If you can't find a local dealer, then search the web for antique dealers who have some of the same type of items in their inventory. You may need to take digital pictures of it to send to the dealer. Good Luck!

I hope someone can help me. I lived in the Republic of Panama from 1984-1986 and shopped at a gift shop called the Lemon Tree. I bought 5 blue animal figures there. They are a vivid cornflower blue glazed colour with white floral designs etched all over each one. I have a horse, a hen, a pig, a bird, and a turtle. The eyes are like semispheres and look a bit like wagon wheels. They are all small enough to hold in the palm of one's hand. I love these figures and wish to resume collecting them, but cannot get any information on where to find them in the U.S., or online. The figures are all marked on the underside with a scrawled siganture that appears to say Pablo Zahu or Zahll and "Chile". Thanks so much!!

It is a cat : http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1442999855 Perhaps you can win this auction, and add it to your collection!

It is good condition and I have 2 of these. If you know anything about this, please let me know. Thank You, Misty Answer : Your best bet is to look through the eBay auction listings to see what other 1923 coca cola bottles are selling for. Most seem to be selling for $5-$20 but some are selling for quite a bit more. You need to find an exact match for yours and see what it sold for.

I have four of them with all of them autographed by the Beatles themselves, but I have a little skeptism on selling these. I've heard that records like these can go as high as $10,000 or higher, and because I do have some priceless stuff here, I want to know how much one of these records might sell for, but I don't know who to turn to. Does anyone have a web site, a book, or a person themself that can appraise these records? I'll be putting them up on eBay later this month and I'd like to get some advice myself on these. I'll take any suggestions that you might have. Thanks! Answer : If you visit one of the major book stores, like B.Dalton or Borders, you can find several price guides for your records. Or you can buy a copy of the "Goldmine Record Albums Price Guide" here : http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0873417801/ref=ase_theworkimansrare For your autographs, you can find over 100 related websites listed here : http://autographtop50.com/ Surely, you can find a value for your autographs at one of them. Then, once you've found the value for your records, and the value for the autographs, add them together and tack on a little premium, and the total should be the approximate value for your records. I hope this helps. Have fun!
