While searching through some US coins I came across these two coins. Can anyone help me identify them and let me know their approximate worth? Sorry I don't have access to a scanner or digital camera right now.

First coin: 1959 Eire
Floirin 2s

Second coin: 1997 East Carribean States One Dollar
Queen Elizsbeth the Second

Just wondering if I'm better off keeping them, trading someone, or returning them for US half dollars.

Thanks in advance,
Galen

The "East Caribbean States" are all the British and formerly-British islands in the eastern Caribbean - places like Antigua, St Kitts, St Lucia, etc, all of which are too small to issue circulating coinage of their own. The ECS dollar is currently worth around 37.4¢ US.

Thanks for the quick replies. Unless someone is just dieing to have these for their collection I'm going to return them to the bank since I'm not into collecting foreign currency. Anyone interested?

Thanks again.
