oldskool49 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/15/2017 11:30 pm From working in a retail operation on a Military Base and one of the managers at that. You get lucky at times when you are collecting coins. I have 15 of which I know where 5 are from. 2 Mexico, 2 Germany and 1 Italy. The others ? and silver content ? I am thinking of selling them all for $5 plus s&h Once again any and all advice is welcome Staff edit - reminder of the Buy/Sell/Trade/Want List Rules Report this Post to the Staff

The German 5 mark (bottom left) is worth €2.50 and is still legal to exchange. The one next to it I think is a 2 franc from Switzerland, legal tender for like $2.02. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 02:26 am It doesn't seem silver but the top right looks like a Panama 1/10 Balboa and could be silver depending on when it was minted (before 1966). That's my four half-cents. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17894 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 04:22 am The middle coin in the top row is a fairly recent Indian 25 paise. Third coin in the bottom row is from Cyprus, probably a bronze 5-mils from the 1960s. Now demonetised and replaced by the Euro.

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 09:16 am Out of the three no one commented on, the first is from Mexico and the second Italy, which would be some of the ones you say you already know. That leaves the last coin in the second last row which is from Iraq (50 fils). Report this Post to the Staff
mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1888 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 11:09 am Looks exactly like the sort of random stuff that can be picked from a certain local dealer's bulk foreign bin for ten cents each. Report this Post to the Staff
