Anyway it was great fun! There were many goodies (at least to me) and a lot of dirty poor ones as well. Anyway, I found 2 coins that I am unable to identify. Maby someone could help me? Thanks! (I noticed after uploading the picture and this msg that the copper eagle is barely visible. I will try to make a better scan) Attached Thumbnails   Last edited by MrsMintage; 10-07-2008 at 03:38 AM.

The other I believe is Austrian, 2 heller. Neither has much value (under a dollar). __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   10-07-2008, 10:46 AM   #6 (permalink) gxseries Coin Collector   Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,900 I'll have to disagree with kanga with the Japanese year. It's a 5 yen coin, dated showa 49, making it 1974, not showa 45. The other is an Austrian 2 heller coin dated 1915. __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   10-07-2008, 11:16 AM   #7 (permalink) kanga 50 Years and Still At It     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 2,594 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by gxseries I'll have to disagree with kanga with the Japanese year.

Interesting that the copper is a Heller. I am surprised that Austria has a two headed eagle. I knew Russia has, and Prussia, but how come Austria? Must be that they all where from the same royal family... Although the coins have no value I believe they are nice. Last edited by MrsMintage; 10-09-2008 at 01:45 AM.
