Hi there. I need some help with info on these coins I recently acquired from a deceased friend. I am assuming all the coins shown (on my website -- http://4u2byte.com/ebay/frenchcoins.html --) are authentic. I really would appreciate any info you can provide, and the approximate market value, too. Also, should I get them professionally graded? Please be specific on which coin you reply for. Thanks for looking, David

I'm almost certain that the second and last photos are of Spanish Pillar Dollars (also called Pieces of Eight) and rightly called Reales. Going out on a limb here, but I'd be willing to say the others might be the same...but I might be wrong.

First and last Spanish 8 Real. Others French but I'm not sure of the denominations. Authentic? I'd say yes, but some degree of wear to them. Professionally graded? No, not worth it.

Post pictures of the coins straight on not at an angle, clearly linking front and back of the respective coins, ideally with diameters in millimetres and people can give you a better idea of what you have. 1 Ecu 38.8mm, 1/2 Ecu 27.5mm are likely denominations.
