<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1837677, member: 25270"]Here's the situation: My sister-in-law's mother recently inherited a bunch of coins from her father, and as the coin collector in the family I volunteered to help her figure out what they were and maybe sell them.

The pictures are of the front and back, one side in one photo, the other in the second.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this first lot, the coin in the lower left interests me because I'm wondering if it might something other than copper/bronze?
