    It will all depend on the condition of the coin.... in general, forieng coins have to be in better condition than their american counterparts in order to generate an equal return. I am very interested in seeing the photographs though :)

    Welcome! Even if they turn out to not be worth much, your grandmother must have thought highly of them. Whatever the current value might be, they should be considered an heirloom "treasure" that she left you. :)
