[QUOTE="Antoninus, post: 139437, member: 5876"]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.

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?[/QUOTE]
