<p>[QUOTE=&quot;looksbothways, post: 182663, member: 7420&quot;]For those who don&#039;t read the US coin forum, my boyfriend and I (mostly me) inherited his uncles coin collection. In the collection are some Canadian and, I believe, Mexican coins. I&#039;ll do my best to describe what they are and hopefully someone will know if they&#039;re worth anything as collector&#039;s items.</p><p><br /></p><p>11 five cent coins. The face has &quot;Estados Unidos Mexicanos&quot; and the picture of, what looks to be, a bird holding a ribbon from it&#039;s beak to it&#039;s claw? Rear is a 5 in the center with the year above it and &quot;Centados&quot; below it. Hopefully that sufficiently describes it. Dates are 1937, 1936, 1942, and 1940 (multiples of each). They came in an envelope with a note written on it. The note says &quot;All mexican coinage has been out of circulation for many years. The metal was worth more than the money.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>2 Canadian pennies. Face is a man I don&#039;t know, and wording around the edge is &quot;Georgivs Vi D : G : Rex Et Ind : Imp :&quot; On the rear are two maple leaves below &quot;1 cent&quot; The years are 1942 and 1946</p><p><br /></p><p>1 Canadian penny. Centennial coin, 1867-1967. Woman on the front with a crown, bird on the rear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unknown coin (portugese?). Face looks like 5 dominoes arranged in a cross shape. The dominoes are all 5&#039;s. Around the edge it says &quot;Republica Portuguesa&quot; On the rear is 20 centavos above some sort of plant sprig.</p><p><br /></p><p>2 Canadian nickels. One dated 1959, the other 1953. The 1953 one is in near uncirculated condition, still very shiny with no signs of wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance for any help/opinions. Investigating these coins has been kind of neat <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
