[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2641857, member: 59737"]Hey Folks, I need some help identifying these (half) coins and determining their worth. Backstory: I had the pleasure of meeting with an 85 year old gentleman who grew up in Germany. It was really interesting chatting with him and really great that we were able to communicate wholly in German. He's been holding onto these coins that he got from his father and is looking to sell them. He contacted me because I am looking to buy silver coins and I'm a little out of my element. I apologize for the photo quality, the lighting in his house was really poor. There are 13 halves and it does look like most of them pair up but I did not have the opportunity to try to pair them up I don't have weights or measurements, but I used a loupe in a photo to help. They were pretty thin and light like aluminum foil. He said they came from Jesus Christ's era and it seems that there are some figures holding curved staffs on them. Please let me know what you think they might be, what you think their value would be.
