    I really only collect US Coinage and I'm not very good with ancient world coinage. Can somebody help me identify these. My Grandpa willed them to me so I don't really care what they're worth. Thanks!!

    Start by taking clear pictures of the obverse and reverse of each coin, then posting them along with the diameter (in millimeters) and the weight (in grams).

    Do the ancients by any chance have a small stamp WRL on them?

    Thank you Dionysos. Everyone note how the coins are carefully arranged to hide the stamp of Westaire Reproductions Limited, the leading UK maker of gift shop replicas.

    Those coins were very carefully arranged to obscure the initials. I think you owe us an explanation.

    I'm cussing out my brother right now... He sent that image to me in a text message. Told me to find out what they were because he knows I collect coins. My grandpa left them to him. I'll give you an explanation in a minute.

    Yeah. Sorry guys. He was pulling my leg. Didn't end up being funny.

    Haha! That is literally the best explanation possible. I'm sorry he got your hopes up.

    On the plus side, that French 1 or 2 francs in the front looks legit. On the minus side, it's a common coin.
