Help needed with "crowns"

I agree the French Indo-China coin is a fake if the weight is at 19 grams.

Thanks for your help.
Score, so far;

• 2 x fake Flying eagle dollars
• 1 x fake 1 piastre
• Probably genuine 10 rupees (these aren't worth much)

Now I should check the other American dollars and the English crowns. I don't have very high expectations.
After that, the Brirish and New Zealand half crowns and florins -these are probably genuine; any I have seen have been after the date they went to copper/nickel from silver.

Hi Nic,
I will try to post some photos (or scans) later, when I have some time. I estimate something between 3,000 and 4,000 coins. Average cost per coin is around 10¢, or so.

In similar size coins I have also found a Jamaica, 1966 5 shilling (Commonwealth Games) and eleven Eisenhower dollars.

Can I ask some silly questions re. the "Ikes"?
Is it normal for these to show a copper colour on the edge? I understand they are a copper core so, presumably, it will show at the edge.
Is there significance with different mintmarks? I have 1971 D mintmark, 1972 D, 1974 D, 1976 (Liberty Bell) with D and no mintmark (Philadelphia?) and 1978 D. Denver must be the common one. I intend to list the duplicates on eBay but don't want to inadvertently sell off a scarce one.

Also found, so far, several New Zealand, Fiji and New Guinea pre-decimals. Those I am interested in.

When I have finished sorting and identifying (and extracting what I am interested in) many will go on eBay in suitable sized lots for reasonable postage.

cheers
Jeff

Very nice coins! whatever you got, at 10cents a coin, that's lower than junk bin value at the coin shop!

For the Ikes, best to acquire the current Red Book. The copper half line at the edge was placed there intentionally to show the coin is not silver. The rest of the details are in the Red Book.

If youve got some large darkside silver crowns that you dont want, there's always the sell post where you can unload it, and recover some of the $ youve spent.

Thanks for sharing the pics!
