I got a shoe box of coins from a family friend and I am going to be posting pictures to try and get some help on what they are and what they might be worth. I am having a hard time because a lot of the country have English queens or princes on them all from different country
The 2nd coin that was photographed individually is an American Large Cent! Only the reverse is shown however. Can you see the date?
Your pictures are way too dark, some of the images are sideways, and 7 or 8 coins is about all we can digest at one viewing.
We can make you a GOOD photographer. First, do you have a scanner? If yes, tell us the brand and model. Take a look at some of my sales ads -- all of them were made with a cheap $40 scanner.
You also have a coin from Mexico (eagle / snake) and one from Israel (menorah). One may be from Hungary.
A decent scanner. Start by selecting a scanning area (for one coin) of about 3 x 3 inches. Do NOT use the entire 8 x 11 glass as your scan area and then crop away the excess. Make your scan with about 600dpi. When it's done, most scanners have a number of adjustments, including lightness or darkness. Select one setting higher lighting, and then another, if necessary. Do not mess with the "brightness" control, that wipes out the detail on your scan with a field of glare. If you want to do 6 or 8 coins at a time, arrange them as close to a square as possible, i.e., like 3 rows of 3 coins, or 2 rows of 3 coins. Again, make the scanning area no larger than one inch beyond the edge(s) of the coins. Dark coins are a problem. Here is a dark 1806 English penny; I have not offered it here because I can't get a good image. This image has been bumped up 3 settings of lighting, and it still doesn't look right, nor does it look much like the actual coin in hand. I may try a macro-lens camera.
One more tip; if you're in snake country, carry an aerosol can of wasp spray, the kind that sprays about 40 feet to reach hornets' nests, etc., in the barn rafters. It's perfectly legal. It will let you get away from a nest of snakes. Always spray around a river bank or into lake weeds before you go charging in, and WATCH for a minute. Usually, there's nobody out there to help you.
A few more or less well educated guesses. First image: (1) Russia 20 rubles (2) France (5 fr, aluminum) (3) UK 1 (pre-decimal) penny Elizabeth II (4) Italy King Vittorio Emanuele III (5) UK 1 (pre-decimal) penny George V (6) Israel (7) Hungary (8) Mexico (9) UK 1 (pre-decimal) halfpenny (10) too dark for me (11) Germany 10? pfennig Second image: Germany 10 pf 1943 Third image: USA 1 cent ... Fourth image; numbers at the end correspond to the coins in the first image: (1) Hungary 10 forint (7) (2) Italy 50 centesimi (4) (3) too dark (4) Mexico 5 pesos (8) (5) UK 1 penny (5) (6) France 5 francs (2) (7) Russia, same side as (1) (8) hard to tell, probably (11) (9) UK 1 (pre-decimal) halfpenny (9) (10) Israel (6) (11) UK 1 penny (3) Christian
$5.50 for the lot maybe, I'm still sitting on 35+KG I haven't gone into yet, I sell mine for .10 each .50 for older, silver, well what ever.
just type what it says on the coin into google, press images and the coin will no doubt be pictured for you......its that simple with modern coinage usually, and ancients too.
