<p>[QUOTE=&quot;toolsinbox, post: 831180, member: 23912&quot;]Thanks&nbsp; very much Krispy. A friend of mine happens to be&nbsp; in the jewelry busness so I will get him involved. He carries insurance to handle these things so I will hand it off to him for evaluation. He is on vacation right now tho. I have been reading like a mad man and so far they seem to be original florin coins from Italy. The guy with the bierd is non other than John the Baptist. Are there a lot of these around? i cant find any where saying what the value may be. just a lot of history of the Renasounce (sp sorry).&nbsp; Would a musium want these ? I sure hope they are valuable cause I could sure use the money.&nbsp; My Mom figures they were won in a poker game. They were willed to me but if the have exeptional value I will have to share with my Mom. She said my Dad had them appraised at some point but we can&#039;t find the paperwork. But emediatly after the appraisial they went in the safty deposit box. The articles I have read state these are the first minted coins in Italy and were duplicated throught the rest of Europe but without John the Baptist, but instead using people like the virgin mary.&nbsp; i will keep reading.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
