<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 106927, member: 669&quot;]I&#039;ll leave the US stuff to the experts (most of the <i>other</i> forum members <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), but here&#039;s a little help on some of the world coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all, understand that the value of <u>all</u> coins depends, in large part, on their condition/grade, and that catalog values are rarely completely accurate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Several of your coins are unidentifiable without more information.&nbsp; For example, franc and krone are both multi-country denominations.&nbsp; Necessary identification information is usually on both sides of a coin, so pictures or full descriptions of both sides are necessary.</p><p><br /></p><p>Offhand nothing&nbsp; you listed appears to be particularly rare or valuable, but it will take a little time to go through the Standard Catalog of World Coins and check them all.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A quick take on some of them: <ul> <li>CHURCHILL on the back. gold in color = 1 crown (5 shillings) and winner of &quot;world&#039;s ugliest coin&quot; contests on many forums.&nbsp; The &quot;gold&quot; is either tarnish, or plating that adds nothing to the value.&nbsp; $2 maximum.</li> <li>ceskoslovenska socialsitika republika means Czechoslovakian Socialist Republic in Czech</li> <li>osterreich means Austria in German</li> <li>rupiah is an Indonesian denomination</li> <li>new pence is a Great British denomination used only in the early years of decimalization</li> <li>Repvbblica italiana is Italy, which uses the denomination Lira</li> <li>krone is a denomination used in 5 countries</li> </ul><p></p><p>Your first picture is a Chinese coin, probably from the People&#039;s Republic based on the artwork, but explicitly stated, along with the date, on the unseen side.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next is a ¥100 Japanese coin dated somewhere after 1967 on the other side.&nbsp; (The 1 or 2 digit numeral is a Japanese regnal year and needs to be adjusted to the western calendar.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Pictures 3 and 5 appear to be of Chinese coins, but I&#039;ll have to Photoshop the pictures to see exactly what they are.&nbsp; Picture 4 is also Asian, and also needs to be worked on.</p><p><br /></p><p>If nobody else posts IDs and/or values before I get a chance to fully research your world coins, I&#039;ll post more information.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
