1928 2 Fen Value [solved]

5 posts
I recently bought a lot of these Shaanxi 2 fen (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces42493.html), and I am wondering how much they are worth. The first image is the rarer ones with a star (worth more according to Krause)



The next photo is of the standard coins.



And last photo is also of the standard coins but in nicer shape (plus the one major error)



Does anyone know of a rough value for these if sold individually. I can see Krause values, but none sold on ebay to give me a real value estimate. Heritage had some sell, but they were very nice and also I won't have as much interest in my sales as Heritage does. Of course some are in better shape than others, but average for the stars and non stars would be appreciated.
Your photos are of very little help and I believe this is what you are looking for but this is NGC's opinion of what is full, end of the rainbow retail. Good luck. https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/china-provincial-shensi-province-2-cents-y-436-1928-cuid-1045645-duid-1288938

​Yeah I did see the NGC/Krause values, just tried to figure out what realistic values are (Krause is often too high, although for Chinese coins not always).

​In my experience Krause/NGC's problem when it comes to Chinese coins is the exact opposite of their problem with early modern European ones; they often undervalue pre-1949 machine struck Chinese massively. For example, they value a 1914 Fatman Dollar in XF at 60 USD; a price I, and any other collector of Chinese coins, would buy them at all day long, if only it were realistic.

But that being said in this case the NGC cited values are actually not that bad compared to real life retail values IMO; with the price you said you got the lot at I definitely think you can make a profit selling them individually. 20 euros each would be a fair price for the non-star ones and around 35 for the starred ones.
