What is the value of a 1908 Irish coin?

Answer 1

Assuming you are referring to a U.S. one cent coin, 1928 cents are not rare. Check under the date to see if there's a mint mark letter. As of 02/2009 approximate retail values are:

No mint mark - very worn, 10¢; moderately worn, 50¢; almost no wear, $1.50

"D" mint mark - 20¢ / $1.00 / $5.00

"S" mint mark - 45¢ / $2.00 / $7.00

Answer 2

The 1928 Irish penny is is bronze, weighs 9.45 grams and measures 30.9 mm in diameter.

9,000,000 of these coins (KM#3) were produced in 1928. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example in Fine condition would be valued at US$0.50, an example in Very Fine condition would be valued at US$1.00, an example in Extremely Fine condition would be valued at US$4.00, and an example in Uncirculated condition would be valued at US$20.00. Additionally, 6,001 Proof example were produced; these would be valued at US$18.50 each.

Answer 5
