I don't know what else I might find in this hoard of coins. ...Thanks a bunch...gee, I gonna have to learn a lot about posting, my pages are so ugly...

It's amazing what you can find if you just search the internet. You have greek coin, 2 apaxmai, pronounced Drachmai. In that condition you might be able to get $10 for it.

You have a Greek 2 Drachma coin from 1959. Greece adopted the Euro about 10-15 years ago and stopped using the Drachma as its currency.

 

It's made of copper-nickel; in that condition, its value is very nominal.

 

 

edited to add: If bsshog40 offers you $10 for that coin, take it. I see these in dealers' junk boxes ("four for a dollar") all the time.

Thanks for the extra info Dave. Wasn't sure what it was made of. My $10 worth probably just went lower.

I wasn't offering anything for it. . Just seen one on a site in uncirculated condition for $20.
