theslider New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 08/05/2015 3:33 pm Hi, I came across this site whilst googling to try and identify some coins that I've inherited from my Dad. Most of these were bought back in the 1980s at various antique fairs in the north of England. And as you can see from the scan are very hard to identify! I've attached a scan of the fronts and backs of the coins and numbered them for easy reference. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 08/05/2015 5:00 pm What I can make out: No. 4 is a 5 Centesimo piece from italy featuring the bust of Vittorio Emanuele II, minted 1861-1867. NO date can be made out though. No. 6 is a Penny from the UK featuring the bust of George III. No. 9 is a Shilling from the UK, 1817 Report this Post to the Staff
