As I said, I made photos of every coin I dont know or which has unkown details for me. 1  I have this coin from a local sale, I think its silver but I am not sure, anyway I can't find any information about it on internet.I dont know either his value. 2  I found something about it, but I'm not sure if is silver or about his value. 3]   I found this coin or something similar on ebay but it was gold and this is in a bade shape and I am pretty sure its not made from gold :P. Its from 1915 and is similar with this: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/1915-franc-gold-coin . 4  Ok this is a romanian coin made from silver. I found it in my grandfather house and its in a perfect shape! I am sure its not fake because I found it in his house so... I am interested for value, I found something similar but in a worse shape with 50$, but this coin is in a perfect form! 5  No clue for this..it might be something roman but I have no idea...Anyway, it is in a good shape so I think the detalis are visible 6  Again....its not in a very good shape but its far from being a mess. :D 7  This is a very special coin for me because I found it digging a hole in ground..so it has a story :D. Its not in a bade shape, and I think that in the face with the head its written down there ROME. 8  NOt such good details, but the back image is an really interesant one, it could be a sword or 2 people fightin,a smither, I dont know, really curious about it! DONE! Those are my coins, I have many but those are my specials, the ones with mistery and a potential value! If you have any information about any one, I will be glad to hear it!I'm especially interested in their value their history! Thanks for your time, good day and forgive me for my english, I am not even 18years old and english is not my native language! Edited by Bogdanco

Okay, you have a few commemorative coins. These are not made to be spent, and are usually silver or gold. Unfortunately, my only catalog doesn't list commemoratives, so I can only help with the other coins. 2. Jordan, 1/4 Dinar, 1977 (Hejira 1397), Copper-Nickel The Muslim dating system uses the date of Mohammed's Flight (Hejira) to Jerusalem as Year 0: the night of his "spiritual awakening". (Before that, he was just a devout merchant.) Coins from most Islamic countries use this dating system: countries with stronger Western influences usually have both Hejira and Christian dates. This is one of them. I'll try converting my catalog prices into lei: this coin is worth about 6 lei. The problem is that there are so many world coins, there could be no demand for this one - ebay is usually the best place to sell more valuable world coins. However, some people might not trust a coin sold from Romania (Eastern Europe used to be the counterfeiting capital of the world, but it was replaced by China). 3. Austria, 4 ducats, probably 1915 Austria still issues silver Thalers and gold Ducats, dated 1780 and 1915 (even if they were made in 2013). For years, these were widely used all over the world, and 4 ducats is the largest gold coin made in this series. They commonly have holes to be worn as necklaces, but yours looks fake: gold does not tarnish or go dark, but yours looks like dark brass with a big stain. It's probably worthless. 4. Romania, 100000 lei, 1946 If it's real, it is 0.5626 troy ounces of silver, worth at least 45.54 lei today. If it's very nice, my catalog lists it at 120 to 200 lei (200 would be for a coin with hardly any scratches or wear: if you can take better pictures, we can tell you more exactly). The rest are ancient coins, and I'm not very good at them. |

Wow, thank you for answering! I'm a little bit dissapointed about the Austrian one but I am really happy about Romanian one. I dont have a very good camera but I can assure you it doesn't have any major scratches, not even little ones..its better than those from our days. I dont want to sell them, I asked for their value much because I am curious about the value of the colection! Thank you for your helping! PS: I remember I have those things. I am not sure they are coins, but they look good, they are in good shape and I am not sure what is their history, I have the whole colleciton with all olympic games but is at my uncle house! Does it worth anything :D?   And found those 2 coins too: [     Edited by Bogdanco

Those medallions have all the Olympic games on them, so they were probably produced by a private company. What does the other side look like? Is it blank, or the same as the first side? If not, it could have information about where and why they are made. However, even if they are just cheap metal, they are interesting, and I like the design showing each Olympic logo.
The last two are old European copper coins. A Kreuzer is Austrian, and the other one looks Spanish, but I'm not sure.

Coin #1: Here is the NGC database page for this coin. It is indeed supposed to be .999 fine silver, though not exactly one ounce; under half an ounce. Coin 2: just a comment on nalaberong's comment... Quote:
...countries with stronger Western influences usually have both Hejira and Christian dates. This is one of them. It's actually countries such as Egypt that still have a recognized native Christian minority that tend to use both AH and AD dates on their circulating coins, especially when the AD date is written using Arabic numerals. Jordan's population was 30% Christian on independence. This has since fallen to 6%. Coin 3: I'd have to agree, it's a jewellery replica of an Austrian gold coin, and probably not genuine gold. Coin 4: Here are the catalogue prices for this coin. As you can see, the price does not go up very much with increasing condition. Coin 5: It is indeed Roman, of the general class of coin known as "Late Roman Bronzes". This one is from emperor Constantine II, similar to this Wildwinds example. Coin 6: Another Late Roman Bronze; this one I can't pick the emperor. Coin 7: I'm glad you found it and that it has sentimental value for you, but unfortunately, it's not a genuine coin. It is a modern jewellery replica; the design has been copied off pictures of two different coins, one Roman, one Greek. Coin 8: Another Late Roman Bronze, probably a FEL TEMP REPARATIO type with soldier spearing horseman design similar to this one, but I can't ID the emperor on yours. Olympic medals: these are privately issued medals, not coins. I don't know who made them or when, though you could probably estimate a date by looking for which Games is the most recent in the set. Minimal value, I'm afraid. Extra Coin 1: Austria 1 kreuzer 1816. The NGC database page nots that these coins were actually struck for several decades, all bearing the date "1816". Extra coin 2: Spain 10 centimos 1879. NGC page. 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
