 your pictures are kind of small. Try taking a picture of one coin at a time to make them larger. |

The top left coin on the last pic looks like a tree shilling, can I get some pics of that? Also, the very large coin on the 2nd to last pic looks like a half crown, and if it's older than what, 1952, I believe it is silver. The one to the left of it looks like another half crown.

I see lots of nice things- Spanish silver, Roman silver, doubloons and a Mormon gold piece to name a few. I'm sorry to say that they are probably fake, but if not, you could have some real money on your hands.

Yes as numisma said, plenty of interesting things there that could be worth a pretty penny. I see some roman denarii as well as some earlier greek coinage (if real). I'm surprised that there is such a wide asssortment of coins for different eras/areas. Higher resolution pictures would help. If you can't figure out the image optimizer, another option would to upload them to ane xternal website such as Postimg.org and then link the picture itself using a code. This is quite interesting, most people's basement "valuable" finds include wheat pennies and Buffalo nickels, never anything valuable. |

I see:
-legionary denarius of Marc Anthony
-denarius of Augustus Caesar
-An 8 reales (Pillar Type)
-An 8 reales cob
-An Athenian Tetradrachm or didrachm (worth $1000-$3000 if real)
-A ptolemy teradrachm (worth several hundreds if real)
-A Pine tree shilling (Worth tens of thousands, but yours is fake).
-A jewish silver shekel (Worth Several thousands if real)
-Silver stater of corinth (worth several hundred if real)
-Silver dirham
-Klippe thaler (Worth few hundred to few thousands)
-1859 $10 Mormon gold (10-12 known, worth $50K-$350K if real)
-Brasher Doubloon (This is a million dollar coin and yours is most definitely fake).
These coins are very valuable if original. However, even from the unclear pictures I can see that several of them are fake, so it is likely they are all counterfeit. I mostly collect classic US and Canadian coins, so this is not my area of expertise, I will let someone else weigh in on this.

Sorry to disappoint you, these "finds of a lifetime" are almost always too good to be true. If I may ask, where do you live? Although most of these are fake, there is a small chance that some might be real, you could bring them in to a local dealer to get advice on if you can get anything from selling them.

No disappointment, would've been nice to hear someone say they're real, but I knew it was a longshot. I live in Nashville, I'm scheduling an appt with a local coin expert just to see.

Alright, good luck, let us know what ends up happening. Some collectors such as Sel-69l and I actually keep black cabinet collections (we purchase counterfeit coins for show purposes), that's something you mighr considee doing if you're interested in coins at all.
