Hi,

I will say once more that I'm not a collector, so I don't have knowledge about coins. I just have a collections that I'm preparing to sell, and the collection contains this six mysterious coins (although of different size, left and right of every image are different sides of the same coin - 6 images, 6 coins).

As you can see, I have absolutely no way to identify them myself by using the internet. The only hope is if someone with experience could give me at least some info that would help me start my investigation.

The last two coins have been pierced, probably for a necklace. Does that make them worthless?

Sorry about how the images look, I had to cut two large photos to make these (the originals were too large).

The third is from Turkey. the denomination is in the centre of the right image-either 10, 20 or 40 para. Mid-1800s. I cannot read the date, which is on the left image.

The last is a 5 para from Turkey. I can't read the date (it would be on the left image) but all these types are early 1900s.

I can tell you right now that the first, 4th and last are very common and worth little. The third is less common but is very worn and in that condition is not high value.

It is 5 Qirsh from Syria, but the picture is not upsidedown. It would be this coin, with the date 1965.

(The version from 1960 would fit the above description well, though)

I believe the only coin not identified is the last one. Hard to tell the date, but I believe the coin is from the Ottoman Empire and possibly km759 5 Para
