joeharmon New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 12:49 am Hello, I am Looking to have 30 plus coins Identified. I am Looking for the country of origin, Date(if not already on it in English, Country's value and It's converted to United State Dollar value, Coin's Composite, and if possible today's value of the coin in USD. I'm not trading nor selling these coins I got them from friends of the family station over seas through-out the last 20 plus year with no real clue as to what they are other then nice gifts from them. Any information is appreciated. I will split up all the coins into single post a few at a time so they can be sorted into other parts of the forum as they are Identified. This coin has a weird edge so I included a side view. Report this Post to the Staff

This appears to be a trick coin, someone coupled a British colonial (Hong Kong comes to mind) obverse with a German imperial reverse. Two sides of this "coin" are decades and worlds apart.

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

Theoretical-face-value-equivalent is quite low; ten HK cents equals slightly more than 1 US cent right now, but you'd have trouble findong someone willing to accept old British Colonial coinage in Hong Kong these days. Catalogue value in this condition is about 20 cents. 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.
