Various loose coins

It's likely just plated gold on that one side but hopefully its really silver at least. If it is silver it's worth around it's spot value $4.32

Just some thoughts Linda. You have a lot to work with. I would start by sorting everything by the country. The US stuff should be easy. I'm seeing many US coins, tokens and medals. The coins will say United States and have a denomination on them. Tokens will also have a denomination. I'm seeing a few from casinos. Medals are the ones like the NRA, Piece ect.
You might image the US stuff in groups once you have it sorted. You will get fast answers on it. I have to look up foreign coins one at a time but there are folks here that know what is important off the top of their head. Good luck. Hope you find something really cool.

 

A lot of the circulating US coinage you have are spenders. I would also suggest to at least separate out the US coinage.

 

Ok, thank you, yes, I think I can do that. Great advice.

 

No I have never been out of the country. These were my grandmother's but she wasn't a collector...im thinking one of her suitors left it there. Just found them bout a year ago then I started buying lots here and there. I will picture them later today. Thx

 

This is interesting. It has that cool look but I can't tell what it is.

 

I've got to look at this stuff better. That is cool.

 

One thing I like to do, is US and foreign. Then focus on the easy US first, sort by coins, tokens, and exonumia. Then read up a bit and sort each foreign coin by country. I recommend en.numista.com as a resource it is very easy to use, accounts are free, and its a great way to track your collection.

 

No I'm good. I like it here.

 

But...yes..thank you...i will check out that site too. But won't you miss me?

 

just about to finally get around to picturing these.

 

Thank you for posting photos. Your first coin is supposed to be a Mexico, 8 reales, 1882Zs,JS, with a straight J, info in link.https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...km-377.13-1825-1897-cuid-1118386-duid-1423401. The color and design don't look right, check it with a magnet.

The second coin "Grant" looked to have some damage in op photo, but I see it is just tannish.
There are some interesting coins and tokens in your mix.

 

junk

 

The Grant dollar is part of the series the mint made. It was a failure. They were made to circulate but nobody wanted them.

 

The purpose of the website is to track your collection, dont use the forums, were better
