Well, there is NO treasure there Thanks. I also created a thread for paper currency that I'm curious too, I pretty certain they were brought home by a soldier from WW II. Here is the link to my paper bills. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-are-these-and-do-they-have-any-collectible-value.393929/
Value? That depends on YOUR history with them. If grandpa came back and gave them to you then they are worth plenty otherwise they aren't worth much and you can get them at a flea mkt for as cheap as 10 for a dollar.
That wasn't the case for these for sure, I sorted figured just by their age that they wouldn't be worth much, but I didn't know. Now my paper bills I posted in the other thread might be old enough or odd enough to MAYBE have some value?? https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-are-these-and-do-they-have-any-collectible-value.393929/
Just crap coins LoL! The real color is off a bit, and the computer microscope's builtin LED lighting is harsh. But! I can get pretty good details with it.
The following is a good link for looking up foreign coins. I have it bookmarked https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?ct=coin
I'm sorry for not getting back to your question sooner than this. It is what I call a cheap computer microscope. I got it off amazon last year. In total I paid $52.00 for it. Several months later I looked at it again and the price was a little over $100.00 (its not worth that, its not that good) But! if a person was to setup a separate remote light source like say, one of those selfie lights I think the scope would do MUCH better, its has a circle of small LED lights builtin to it, that produces off color, and a bit harsh coin images, and its hard to control on a shinny coin, silver being the worse. I have taken and wrapped a tissue around the end of an LED flash light to help problem images. But! It does good on detail, bad on lighting. Here is the amazon link to the one I have, I think there was a model change sense I bought mine, but you can use the title information and use it in an amazon search to find the updated one and I think its a $130.00 It looks to have a different stand? What I like most about it is I can set down in front of my computer with a coin lot and slide the coins beneath the scope and get a 10" detailed view of the coin on my computer screen, making the details VERY clear & quick to see. If the coin is well toned, like browned coppers it does better. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CYND2HK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hope that helps
