Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/02/2014 1:07 pm First coin is from Frederick III of Prussia (Germany) who ruled briefly in 1888. The coin has been ground and engraved on one side, possibly to turn it into a jewelry piece or keepsake. The date and denomination would have been on the side that is now a pattern, but this is most likely a 2 Mark coin. Value isn't much as it has been heavily damaged. Second is a common pre-decimal British penny of Edward VII (1901-1910). They're commonly collected and generally worth $1-2. Report this Post to the Staff

adicted New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/02/2014 4:43 pm thanks for feedback, really appreciate it. My family just gave me a big jug of coins from as far back as 1800's from places I never heard of. Some are somalia, germany, britian, etc. will look more into it. Some olympic coins from way back also. pretty cool Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 07/02/2014 6:43 pm The first item is not a coin; it certainly isn't and never was a gold coin. Gold doesn't turn black like that. It is a badge or medal of some kind, with a design similar to the coin. It looks like it once had a loop attached to the top which has since been removed. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
