<p>[QUOTE="Wildcat2002, post: 36622, member: 2245"]Hi, I am new to coins and the coins in question were from what looked like the "catch all" box in the collection. Most appear to be ancient or world coins with the exception of a Hawaiian one. Photos are avaiable in my yahoo album below (please ignore the 1903 1 peso piece, that scan was for another posting). If you could provide an approximate value it would be nice, but based on the lack of good storage I doubt the original collector valued them much. I'm mainly curious as to their origins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Link: <a href="http://photos.yahoo.com/prenumbra2007" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://photos.yahoo.com/prenumbra2007" rel="nofollow">http://photos.yahoo.com/prenumbra2007</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Written descriptions:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Labeled 1700's VoC" in my pics.
