Welcome to the forum mr22601. Unfortunately, the website you have chosen for posting your picture doesn't allow sufficient magnification to let anyone but an expert in the particular series, or with the eyes of a hawk, from identifying and roughly grading your coins. Your 1881 Mexican 8 Reales needs much closer examination to identify which of many mints it came from, or to estimate its value. There seems to be a problem with your English 3-pence. The Standard Catalog of World Coins doesn't list an 1809 mintage and the bust of George III on your coin more closely resembles the 18th century version of 1795 or 1800 than it does the earliest 19th century example of 1817, on which he is wearing a laurel wreath. I know nothing about your third coin. Please try retaking your photos, with separate pictures of each coin, cropped to eliminate the surroundings, and then attach them to a posting by using the "Manage Attachements" link at the bottom of the screen.
i appologise for the poor pics but this forums file attachment will not let me download them it says its too big of a file the english coin front is fairly worn except for the face most of the letters are barely visable the date looks like it could be from 1800 the last number has a small spot on it the coins need to be cleaned but not knowing what im doing i prefer to just leave them alone ,i screwed up a 1776 quarter up bye trying to clean it , as for the mexican coin can you tell me where the mint mark is i can post what it says the mexican coin is in excellent condition for its age ,,,as far as my 3rd coin i can describe it ,,the side with the date ,,,a crown on the top in the center says MOHETA PYBAL under that it has __________ . __________ under that it has the date 1834 under that it has C.11.B,,,,,on the other side it has around the eagle thiers a * YNCTATO CEPEBPA 4 30AOTNKA 21 AOYR,,,,,,all the n's are backwardsand also some of the letters seem upsidedown in the center the eagle is 2 headedthe left foot is holding a sword of some sort and the right foot is holding a globe with a cross on top of it under the sword looks like a letter H under the globe is an upside down L in the center of the 2 headed eagle looks like a picture of a armored man on a horse,,,also on the outer rim of the coin is several markings of numbers letters and symbols
Here are the pics - I enhanced the pics as best I could but I'm afraid I can add little other than what Roy has already said. I think the British item is a token - not a coin.
Basically what it is saying is that coin is a Ruble (Moneta Rubl' transliterized into the latin alphabet) Pure silver 4 zolotnika (this is a weight, no longer used) 21 shares I was able to find an fairly clear image from a pdf file. Tony
ty tony ,,, that was alot of help ,, it is an exact of my coin although mine seems in better condition,,, would you know the value of it by chance? when you say this is a weight did you mean its worthless other then holding down some paper???
A measurement of weight equaling approximately 4.25 grams. As for its value, I really don't know. I just happen to speak some Russian. Here's a link to one being sold on eBay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3393&item=3964988877&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Also has some really good images of it. Looking at that the letters under the date. Do you see something that looks like C.n.B? My guess is those would mean the coin was minted in Saint Petersburg. Tony
The coin that looks like a British coin is actually a Demarary & Essequibo 3 Guilders,which was issued in 1813.Demarary & Essequibo became British Guiana in 1835,& gained independence in 1966 as the Dominion of Guyana.Guyana became a republic within the British Commonwealth in 1970. As to your Czarist Russian 1 Rouble coin,it was issued during the reign of Czar Nicholas I (ruled 1825-55).Czar Nicholas I was the Czar who began the Crimean War,& it was his son,Czar Alexander II (ruled 1855-81) who ended it.
