The first coin is a Silver Eagle, ignore the "one dollar" as that is silver bullion and is pegged to the price of silver. That coin is 1 oz of pure silver. Silver closed on Friday at $19.99/oz.
I can't help you with the others, I don't know foreign coins and the picture of the 1943 Liberty Walker isn't focused enough to get a good idea of the grade.

Try http://www.worldcoingallery......I have been able to at least identify where unknown foreign coins have come from. It is a great site, with pictures and specification details, including precious metal content, for thousands of coins! The one you think is Roman looks like a penny from Great Britain to me. It appears to have some sort of printing/die striations, which some get excited about, but that is out of my realm of knowledge. Also, http://www. (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com is my favorite site for finding out silver content in coins, and their worth, from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Just remember, the amount worth is based purely on silver content, and not neumismatic values! U.S. Silver Eagles (the first coin in your pics) usually have a value much higher than the metal value, as does the U.S. half dollar. Hope this helps some. Edit: (131231) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed . Not sure why other website reference is not allowed, but do a search for (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed . Edited by HistoryCollectorScout

QUESTION: I also have a silver Eagle in the same presentation/storage holder as in the first picture. I got it as a child. Can anyone share info on where this holder came from, and if it is safe to continue using it? It seems it has not protected the coin from toning. Any advice on how to store this coin would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!  |

The second coin is a Danish 0.800 fine silver 5 Kroner, issued to commemorate the silver wedding anniversary of King Fredrick and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. Mintage 410,000. My 2001 catalog gives the value as $9.50 in Uncirculated.
The 1906 Edward VII penny looks fairly normal to me - these coins often have this rather streaky appearance. In this condition it doesn't have any particular numismatic value - a British dealer would probably chuck it in his 10p junk box. Some people melt these for their bronze content as they weigh a third of an ounce.
The "Savonlinnan Kaupunki" item is a medallion rather than a coin. Savonlinnan is a city in Finland, and 'Kaupunki' means borough, and the coat of arms is presumably that of the city. I'd guess it's a presentation piece of some kind, perhaps struck for local government officials or possibly sold as a souvenir in the city.

Silver coins get tarnished easily. The only way to avoid it is to store the coins in plastic capsules and on the rare occasions where you have to handle the coin wear clean cotton gloves.
That said, silver coins can still acquire toning over the years just from the general atmosphere. I've personally found that proof silver coins are more vulnerable to toning as well.

D.B.--- Are you saying this coin is a proof because of the holder? If I put the coin in an air-tite, should I keep the holder around?
Thanks for your input!

History that coins not a proof, he seemed to just be making a general statement.
If you use an air-tite and like the holder keep it, if not you could sell it or get rid of it. Its really up to you and what you like

Hi nikolinepigen, Your first coin is a 1991 1oz American Silver Eagle Round of 999 Purity, there were only 7,191,066 of these minted meaning it could fetch around $35 on ebay, the current spot price for 1oz of silver is $19.78. Your next coin is a 5 Kroner piece from Denmark, these seem to have been released for general circulation and have a mintage figure of 409,858. It contains 0.4372ozt ASW (Actual silver weight) and have a value of $45 between XF and AU based on the condition. unfortunately, the next coin does not have any significant value but it could be a good piece to auction off. Savonlinnan is the name of a city in Finland, very interesting. Your English Pennies, although old aren't worth any much, they should sell for around $0.50 at the least. The last dude is a US Silver Half Dollar, it contains 0.3617ozt of silver and is worth about $7.11 melt. It's condition of XF should give it a premium of 15% bringing its current value to $8.17. I hope this helps and thank you for sharing your coin collection. |

I acquired an Eagle that had been laying around for years in a similar case with cardboard insert. The cardboard reacted with the coin and blackened the edges and was starting to creep around to the face.
