keith101 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 If there paying 1,500 per coin i would drive the 7 hours it takes to get to Bangkok stay with family for a couple of days and then drive 7 hours to get back or at least i would consider it . If their offering that much they must be worth a lot more . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberfarang Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Usually rare coins or those similar in the OP, need to be in mint condition to have any real value. I would suggest before rushing off to claim your fortune, is to first check this out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I read this right then only new 1 baht coins which don’t have the two sides inverted are more valuable. I.e. if you flip the coin over then one side is inverted normally not as is in the photo !!Maybe not so obvious in the OP !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dwyer Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 that's because coins are not printed. The headline was a misprint, but writing mismint would have only confused TVF posters more !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopin2 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 If the value of a 1 Baht coin increase to 2 Baht, that equals a 100% increase. So if the value increase from 1 Baht to 400 Baht, that would make 100% 400 times. 100x400= 40 000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopin2 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Some more rocket science: Suppose the value of a coin decreases from 400 Baht to 0 Baht. How many percent has the value decreased? A. 40 000% B. 400% C. 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
