    Good afternoon on this snowy New England day.

    In general, I have been doing pretty well identifying the coins in my father's collection but I am now stumped. I have these two coins that have minimal markings and I cannot find a reference for either. Coin #1 is 15.89 Gram and 3cm across. Coin #2 is 7.50 Gram and 3cm across.

    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    They appear to be English pennies. George II and Victoria

    The experts will tell you. It looks old and European.

    The first one looks French to me (Louis-Philippe I?), and the second one has Queen Victoria on it.

    That is why I said European, 1 English and 1 French.

    The bust on the first coin actually appears to be that of George IV

    I admit I am guessing. Not much left on the coin to compare in pictures.

    I stand corrected. Need to get my eyes re-checked.
