<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 220514, member: 669&quot;]The first one in your latest batch is from an Islamic country, dated AH1396 and denomination of 10 (something) in the second picture, which needs to be rotated counterclockwise 45 degrees; and dated 1975 in the first picture (The &quot;19V0&quot; at the bottom.&nbsp; I don&#039;t read Arabic, and don&#039;t recognize the country of origin.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t combed the multiple countries it could have come from which are listed in the Standard Catalog of World Coins (&quot;Krause&quot;). (NOTE:&nbsp; I was writing this when Aidan posted, and didn&#039;t see his IDs before posting.)</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a 10 piasters circulating commemorative of the Suez Canal reopening (KM#452).&nbsp; The coin is actually dated 1976/1396 on the obverse, on each side of the denomination.&nbsp; The date &quot;1975&quot; appearing on the reverse is, I believe, the date the canal actually reopened, rather than the date of the coin as I first interpreted it. <img src="http://bestsmileys.com/foot_in_mouth/1.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan has correctly identified the next coin as a Japanese 1 sen.&nbsp; The first picture needs to be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.&nbsp; KM#59 is aluminum, worth little or nothing in that corroded condition, and minted in 1941-43.&nbsp; That would be Showa 16-18.&nbsp; The &quot;+&quot; sign is 10, and the second character, which would be on the left of the 10, is too corroded to read.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rest have also been correctly ID&#039;d by Aidan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Due to their condition, IMHO the whole kit and kaboodle is probably worth 10-25¢ retail, on a good day. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
