I collected coins many years ago a have since just rediscovered the fun and excitement of the hobby. This is my first post, so forgive me if it does not work properly. "Rex" is obviously a Canadian 5 cent piece however can't identify the other coin. Both are about 5/8's" diameter. Thanks for your help, and I will follow with many more as I have time.

Bingo New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/20/2009 2:05 pm I too collected as a kid and have rediscovered the fun. Grandma's Closet is a great topic. I bet many collectors have either inherited from Grandma's closet, or have acquired contents from estate sales. What a find! Report this Post to the Staff
snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1841 Posts	Posted 08/20/2009 3:26 pm Yup a 3 Kreuzer from the German state of Baden. KM #191 0.0137 ASW. I wonder how they got there? Report this Post to the Staff
adco1149 Valued Member United States 147 Posts	Posted 08/20/2009 3:42 pm Thanks Snowman, however I do not understand your notation. KM #191 0.0137 ASW How they got there? Grandma was my Mother in law. Her husband was in WWII, on the US California at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked, spent the next few years all over the world.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/20/2009 4:43 pm KM #191 refers to a reference number in a book authored by two men, Krause and Mishler, titled Standard Catalog of World Coins. The catalog, consisting of multiple volumes, is broken down into centuries going back to the 1600s. The 0.0137 ASW refers to the coin containing 0.0137 troy ounces actual silver weight.
