WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 01/26/2009 12:47 am Regarding your "Far East" coins, the top row looks to be all Chinese cash coins; maybe someone on here can ID them better for you as to date/reign. Bottom row: first coin is Turkish, and the other appears Japanese. "European" coins: Top row - Germany, Germany, ? (Can't really make it out), France. Bottom row - Germany, Russia (?), Denmark, Netherlands, and France again. You have the coins in hand, so check them out at World Coin Gallery to be more specific. http://(131231) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed / Report this Post to the Staff

Does it look like the ones discussed on this page? Far East 2: with the "waves" on the back, this one's definitely Japanese. Like these. Far East 3: again, the scan isn't too clear, but I think it's Annam (Vietnam), emperor Tu Duc (1848-1883). Like this one. Far East 4: China, the Qian Long emperor (1736-1795), Board of Revenue mint. Far East 5: This one's actually from the "Near East", Turkey. 40 para, dated Accession-1255 Regnal-22 I believe (which equates to 1859-1860 AD). Far East 7 (#6 is the quarter): Japan ½ sen, looks like Year 12 of the Meiji Emperor (= 1879 AD). Year 12 is the second-scarcest date of the series, and could be quite valuable. Can we have better pictures of this one, to double-check the date? 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

Prior to 1871, "Germany" did not exist; it was divided into dozens of tiny countries, of which Prussia was the largest and most powerful. European 4 (3 is the quarter): Same as #2, but I can't read the date. European 5: France (Second Empire) 1 franc 1868, A (Paris) mintmark. Made of .835 fine silver. European 6: Germany 5 reichspfennig 935, F (Stuttgart) mintmark. European 7: Austro-Hungarian Empire (Austria) 1 kreuzer 1881. European 8: Denmark 1 ore. I can't read the date, and there are quite a few valuable date varieties in these coins. Can we have a closeup, please? European 9: Netherlands 1 cent, but I can't read the date. European 10: France (Second Empire) 5 centimes. I can't quite read the date on this one, either. 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

Sap Moderator Australia 16867 Posts	Posted 01/27/2009 05:04 am Far East 7: My mistake, it's actually Year 14 (1881), which is fairly common. Sorry. I think my initial observations were correct for the others you've shown zoomed pics for. 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
