Not yet! But one can hope

I have no idea what my son picked out and put in the holders. He said there were some from the 1700s. Time will tell.

 

Thats a great idea. I like wall mounted plaques. I am in the process of converting a room over to a 1800 century old world library/museum/study/coin room
You know you are getting old when your Mancave gets turned into a Library

 

What would happen if you dropped them in a coin star.

 

That was my plan 30 years ago but never happened. Glad you getting it done.

 

I have no idea

 

I posted a few more photos in case anyone is interested in joining the hunt

 

You really need to double-check for silver @Eric the Red.

 

I have only had time to look at a few handfuls so far. It all is unpicked by me. My 14 year old son is the only one that has even gotten I to them yet. I am super curious to see what he picked and put in the cases.

 

He filled 6 cases with coins and cleaned me out of whatever empty cases I had left lol. He really did have fun though and thats what counts

 

I found these so far.

 

If I learn to identify the Greek coins I will send you what I find no charge

 

Nice cash coins.

 

From top to bottom, L to R on the second photo:
R1 Japan 10 yen

R2 China Guangxu cash minted
Japan kan'ei tsuho
China Guangxu, Guangdong mint
China qianlong cash

R3 China qianlong again
China Jiaqing
Qianlong upside-down
Jiaqing again

R4
Japan Kan'ei tsuhou
China Qianlong
China Jiaqing
China Kangxi

R5
China Daoguang

R6
Japan 5 yen x2, Japan 10 yen

The Japan 5 and 10 yen are generally spenders
All the China seem to be Qing Dynasty so far (the most prevalent).
A nice fun assortment, but nothing jumps out at me as scarce. Enjoy!

 

I do see some silver in there. Perhaps separate them all by country and then find out their composition and value. Should be hours of fun! What a hoard!

 

In some of your photos, I see what looks like a very high grade Draped Bust large cent. Got excited! But it isn't of course because there are the words "3RD PRESIDENCY" ( I think) where the year should be. What kind of token is that?

 

I see sooooooooo many coins that I want to reach out and examine closer! You should set up a website and post all these coins, then invite us to contribute information on each one! I see a one dirham coin from Dubai. 20- and 5-cent first generation coins from Singapore.
