I have to describe these as my camera will not take good enough pictures to make them of any use. I was wondering if I could get some estimates as to value, country of origin, etc etc. 1. On one side of the coin it says "REPUBLIK OSTERREICH" and has an eagle facing to the left and two "10"s. On the reverse it says "10 GROSCHEN". The date is 1982 and the coin is a little larger than a dime. Also it is very light and has a very high pitched tone when it strikes a solid object 2. Quarter sized 1959 date. On the front it says QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND and a profile of presumably the queen. On the reverse it has a clipper ship with "BRITISH CARIBBEAN TERRITORIES EASTERN GROUP TWENTY FIVE CENTS" and two "25"s on each side of the ship. 3. Quarter sized, no discernable date. Looks like it was made from copper. It has a square hole approx 1 cm in center. One side appears to be written in some form of Arabic, the other side in Chinese. No other discernable details. 4. Extremely small coin 1997 date, the size of a pinky nail. Reverse says "5" with a symbol that looks like a cents sign with a slash through it going from top right to bottom left. Small symbols along one part of the edge look like triangles without bottoms. Reverse has a Mexican eagle on it with words along the edge but they are nearly impossible to read owing to them being so small but which appear to say "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS" 5. Small American-made dime, 1907 date. It appears to be from the Philippines. It has an american eagle above a shield with the stars and stripes on it on the reverse and the front has a woman holding a hammer infront of an anvil. It says "FILIPINAS" beneath her. 6. American Indian Head penny 1886 date. Left facing Indian head on the front with "ONE CENT" on back with laurel leaves wrapped around the ONE CENT. So does anyboddy have any ideas?
Austria, 10 groschen, 1982, aluminum, Standard Catalog of World Coins ID is KM#2878, listed at retail value 45 cents Uncirculated. British Caribbean Territories, 25 cents, 1959, cu-ni, KM#6, 35 cents F to $2.25 Unc. The "Arabic" is probably Manchu - most likely a Chinese cash coin, cu or bronze, ~18th to early 20th Century, nominal value. Mexico, 1997 5 centavos, stainless steel, KM# 546, 15 cents XF to 25 cents BU Phillipines under US control, 1907 10 centavos, 2g .75 silver .0482 oz. ASW, KM#169, $1.50 F to $75 BU w/o mintmark, $1-55 w/S mintmark US CENT, 1896, bronze, lots of folks who collect US coins can give you some values, but I'm not one of them. As you can see from the ranges, condition is a major component of valuation, so without pictures or descriptions written by someone with a strong background in grading standards, there's no way to accurately value the Phillipine dime, which is the only one you listed which may have significant value.
