World coins: need help identifying some and posting ones I think are cool

I bought two pounds of world coins, and am having trouble identifying some of them.

















I really like this one for some reason





and, just to show scale, here they all are with a quarter




More pics of others once I take the pics

ERIE 1971, is Ireland 1/2 p. Nice one too! I believe there is also and Egyptian coin there as well, opposite corner from the Irish coin. I'm sure someone can tell you the others.

 

I forgot one in the previous pics






1897 British penny





(2)1921 and (1)1922 British pennies





1942 and 1951 Australian pennies





1952 half penny





CCCP





1924 and (2)1925 5 reichpfennig, and a 1930 50 pfennig





Canadian 1924 5 cent, and 1913 one cent





These next ones are in horrible shape, but the middle coin is (I think) a1865 napoleon coin I'm not sure what the bottom left coin is though.

 

The coin you really like is Israeli 1 agora from the 1970s. Other coins, in addition to Asian ones are from Spain, Morocco, Thailand.

 

I really like the 1952 half penny too. I love the detail in the sails and rigging.

 

Thanks, 1066merlin and taxidermist!

I like that half penny as well, there's a lot of detail in there!, I have a 1967 one as well that is in pretty good shape

 

I have always liked those, funny part is I don't have one!
Guess I need to add it to my shopping list.

Thanks for posting the photos, do you have any more?
Mark

 

the one on the very left in your first picture is a japanese 10 yen, its worth about a buck, i have 3 or 4 of them in my book

 

If Siberian man comes in he can probably rattle all of them off for you

 

OK going up from the bottom.

1. Isreal
2. Hong Kong/Japan
3. Eire/Turkey/Japan/ ?
4. left to right Japan/japan/Thailand/?

The second set
The 4 with the wheat stalks are from Wiemar Germany after WWI

 

Thanks Mark! Are you referring to the one that's not in the group of three?

1066merlin, I got a lot of coins in the 2 pounds that I ordered. Those are the only two half pennies of that style I got though. I can take some more photos of others I got later on though.


Edit: Thanks Ripley! (At first I thought you said after WWII lol)

 

yes the one that is seperated from the rest

 

Maybe you know this, but the CCCP ones are from the Soviet Union - 1, 20 and 15 kopeks. In the five really worn ones, left to right is a British penny, the next one I can't make out but it looks like George V of Britain on it, then a Napoleon III from France sometimes in the 1850s or 1860s, can't tell the exact denomination, the one with the missing piece I'm not sure, and the last is a Mexican 2 centavos. Two centavos are kind of hard to find, but of course yours is pretty worn.

 

Thanks, I did know that the CCCP ones were from the Soviet Union. I didn't know the 2 centavos were hard to find, I have two more of those

 

What about 1 centavo?

 

I'm currently working on a collection of Mexican so this is an area I've been paying attention to lately, and I've only found two 2 centavo coins. You have two of the more common dates. They're probably worth a dollar each I'd say. The one centavos are more common. I personally like the style of all the Mexican coins of that era a lot.

 

That's awesome, I like them as well, I like the 1940 1 centavo, it looks pretty nice

 

3rd photo, bottom left is Egypt, I'm pretty sure of that.

Alan, post all the photos you want! We love looking at family pictures! It's actually fun trying to figure out who is who.

 

lol

 

How about 10 centavos?





Sorry, these ones seem slightly blurry
