[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 41570, member: 669"]Welcome to the forum mr22601. Unfortunately, the website you have chosen for posting your picture doesn't allow sufficient magnification to let anyone but an expert in the particular series, or with the eyes of a hawk, from identifying and roughly grading your coins. Your 1881 Mexican 8 Reales needs much closer examination to identify which of many mints it came from, or to estimate its value. There seems to be a problem with your English 3-pence. The Standard Catalog of World Coins doesn't list an 1809 mintage and the bust of George III on your coin more closely resembles the 18th century version of 1795 or 1800 than it does the earliest 19th century example of 1817, on which he is wearing a laurel wreath. I know nothing about your third coin. Please try retaking your photos, with separate pictures of each coin, cropped to eliminate the surroundings, and then attach them to a posting by using the "Manage Attachements" link at the bottom of the screen.[/QUOTE]
