    The second one is from Taiwan and it's super common. Not really worth anything. I don't think the first one is a coin, but it's hard to tell.

    Can you take a clearer picture of the first coin? Weight and measurement might help as well.

    I don't have these coins someone was wanting to sale me them. But I did not know anything about them so I did not buy. The silver one I was told 1912 value at $60. Could someone tell me the year of the silver looking one I do not know how to read it? Also a anything else they know about it. How would I go about looking up foreign coins? The copper looking coin I think is fake if it is real it is very old it looks to be hand struck. One side as what looks like a palm tree on it the other to me looks like a pine cone or a pineapple. The coin is about the size of a dime but is 3 to 4 times as thick weighs weighs about like 3 to 5 dimes. Hope that helps that's about all I can add. Anymore help would be great

    I think the first coin is a modern replica/fantasy piece of Judaean Bar Kochba bronze[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]. [/FONT]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?pos=-831

    Not a problem. I would also add that I could be wrong about it being fake, but I don't think so.

    The Taiwanese yuan is dated Republic Year 62 (1973) and is slightly less common than dirt.

    The Taiwan coin is also not silver. Don't buy those coins.
