With the exception of the first coin, you should easily be able to google information based on the legends and dates of each coin. This is the best way to learn about numismatics. You've been posting on here for a while. Take the time to try to figure it out on your own rather than expecting the members of CT giving you all the answers. If you post "I think I have a French and Canadian coin but couldn't find any info", you'll get more help than expecting others to do all of the work for you.

 

Also, the specific type of help you are looking for is important. Identification? Value? Etc. etc. I'm still fairly new here as well, but it's important to do a some of your own research 1st and ask clear questions. You'll get better answers that way and generally enjoy the forum much more.

 

Well I know I have to research on my own what these are and I was just asking for help on identifying a couple of them sorry didn't mean to be so lazy

 

these are very common coins. not sure on the 1st coin ??? next 2 are from France, Canada what is the date on 10 cents ? hard to tell from your photo, Mexico, and Canada

France, 2 francs, 1947, KM#885a.2, aluminum, mintage-31,562,000

France, 2 francs, 1943, KM#902.2, aluminum, mintage-68,082,000

Mexico, 5 centavos, 1967, KM#426, brass, mintage-118,816,000

Canada, 1 dollar, 1987, KM#157, aureate-bronze plated nickel, mintage-205,405,000

Canada, 10 cents date ???

 

The french coins are from the post war French republic, and the 1943 is from the Vichy France government (German occcupation)

The first piece appears to be a slug.

 

The oldest 10 cent piece is 1951 I also have a 1932 Canadian 5 cent

 

Have you seen this site. I have found it most useful, and interesting.

Yes thank you

 

The '51 Canadian Dime is silver. Its' been beat a bit, but a cool addition to your collection.

 

It's all crap according to others thank you but I'm done

 

Tough crowd here Joy. Nothing here is ever served sugar coated. Take the 'knucks' and develop a thicker skin...........and learn a thing or two. While many, myself included, come off high handed and overly judgmental, we're basically here to help you learn. Think of it as boot camp. I'f you can survive it, you will thrive.......

 

Thank you for giving me another way of taking the verbal attacks

 

Shake it off and don't take it so personally...........

 

Its really hard to bite my lip but I'm doing it today was the first time ever finding such a variety of coins and paper money I got so excited I couldn't wait to post them I don't mind doing research I just wanted to hurry yooip and post them a person on here doesn't care for my excitement. Sorry

 

Blast them........

 

Same here.

 

Hang in there Joy the learning curve is steep but you'll master it soon enough.

 

Thank you

 

Your 1st coin.... Please take and measure it and weight it. I hope you have digital slide caliper. You can get one for cheap at harbor freight tools, or even on amazon but weigh it and measure it so we know the dimensions. It will help pin it down.
