Yardsale findings

Hi All,
Havent been on in a while. Hope everyone is doing good. Was at a yardsale and found this cup full of old coins on the table. So I picked them up. Been trying to do some research on them but not having much luck
I belive most of them are early european with a few chinese coins at the end. As usual any thoughts, and
opinions on them would be great. Will send them in a few threads
Thanks.....Pa tt01

Hope I did this right, my apologies if I did'nt.....Pat

 

Thanks zachfromnj, Really cool site

 

Nice stuff Patti. I like the Thai Rama V best.

 

Thanks Ripley, I guess the dollar I spent for this cup of change was a dollar well spent. There were a couple of dozen coins in all. Will post a couple of more in a
new thread.....Patt01

 

Hi lordmarcovan, Yep Walked up to the table and they were in one of those
Parkay type butter tubs. Asked them how much, they said one dollar so I snached them up. there was also some older Shillings,Canadian cents and some wheat cents In ther I'm still going thru. Still trying to find out about the Chinese (I think) coins. Nice to be in the right place at the right time......Pat

 

The top one is a Japanese brass 5 yen dated Showa 25 (1950), worth face value of about 6-1/2 cents.

 

Good to see you on here Lord M. Always enjoy your posts on CU.

 

Thanks for letting me know about the brass 5 yen hontonai, did not even think about it being Japanese. I knew it was not worth much but it is still a cool looking
coin.....Pat

 

Wow great pic ups! I wish the yard sales around me had coins.

 

I like george iii.looks like a 1/2 penny token. And the shillings. The french ones are very common. Very well done for a dollar, they must several times in scrap metal alone.

 

Just step right up to my yard sale table:

 

Nice! I love finding old coins at low prices!

 

Wow jloring, know I'd never get all that for a buck. We love yard sales out here in sunny Phoenix
With those kind of table items you'd fit right in :thumb:

 

And the second one is identified as "It is a 1939 San Francisco Worlds Fair- Golden Gate Expo Token, given away at the Chinese Pavillion on Treasure Island. They are quite scarce." at http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=55067
