My Coin Collection

I'm sorry if some of the coins are unreadable it's the best I can do with a cell phone.

You've got an interesting mix of coins there! A good number of different denominations, coins from multiple countries, a variety of shapes and metallic compositions â€" you can learn much about the world by learning about what you have.

I would suggest checking with your local library to see if they have copies of the Krause Standard Catalogue of World Coins for the periods 1801-1900 and 1901-2000. You can use those two catalogues to learn more about almost all of the coins you've shown.

Good luck!

Check out that fat man Chinese coin. There have been a lot of fakes, but if your grandfather received this a long time ago it could be real and worth a lot.
