Hey I received a large box of world coins and am having trouble identifying some and determining if any have silver. I've been searching online but am finding a lot of contradicting information so I thought I'd post a couple in this thread every day so as not to overwhelm you. The Balboa is a 1966   |

Can you put pic's of both the reverse and the obverse of each coin, That way we can let you know what coin you have  |

The first one is a 1/4 Balboa, which was minted in copper-nickel in 1966.

I don't think six or even more a day would be overwhelming to this group. So have at it. Do please though show both sides, with as clear photos as possible, and a mm size for each coin would be helpful too.

getting one of the Krause's catalogs will save you much time
though it is interesting to see what else you got in the box :)

"getting one of the Krause's catalogs will save you much time" That might be a bit much if it's just a one-time lot of seemingly common world coins. In lieu of buying a Krause... "Google is your friend". So is an ebay search. |

The bottom coin is a UK either 5 new pence or 10 new pence (either would be copper-nickel). Those are the only decimal coins that sport this date, 1968, three years prior to decimalization.

You don't have to buy a Krause. Just take you box of coins to the library; most around here have Krause.
