BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 2:38 pm The first coin is Great Britain Penny copper whose size will help determine if it is a Farthing, Half Penny or penny. Looks to me like a penny. The second is a British farthing from 1886. The 3rd is a 2.5 Escudo from Portugal looks like 1948. The first two are not worth anything, the 3rd is .650 Silver and worth its silver melt. $1.30 right now. Edited by BigSilver 03/15/2018 2:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KentCoin91 New Member United Kingdom 8 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 3:07 pm Ah that's a shame about the value, but they are still pretty cool! I've taken some more pictures of the more interesting coins in the collection. Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 3:29 pm OK - the two Octagonal ones are Egyptian, 1933, cupro-nickel - not worth a lot. The other Islamic one - only one side seen - is Turkey, either Kurush or half Kurush from around 1840 - 0.22 Silver, worth a couple of pounds or so. The two headed Eagle coin is Poland 1840 10 Groszy - 0.192 Silver but a bit more collectable - maybe £5... More please! Report this Post to the Staff
PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 3:39 pm OK - next batch - 5 Piastre is Egypt during British protectorate 1916. Another Turkish one - slightly later 19th century. Hong Kong 5 cent is 0.9 Silver - there are collectors but probably a couple of quid. 1775 is a British farthing or Halfpenny - but I suspect contemporary forgery. Still collectable but poor condition so a pound or two at most. Last one is a China 10 Cash from the Republic (around 1920). Need a Chiese expert to nail down which one exactly but will probably go best of those posted so far. Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 4:05 pm Whoa - I think you are going to have to put fewer pictures in each post as I am struggling to match up the pairs. Too much scrolling back and forth! What I can see: 3 Kreuzer is a German state, but not sure which as the reverse (if I have it spotted right) is too flat. Then Ceylon 1 cent - worthless. Then British penny or halfpenny - worthless in that condition. Australian threepence - silver value only. Japanese 10 Sen - need a Japanese specialist, Also another Chinese coin - specialist required. Swiss 20 Rappen, Belgian coin, another Turkish/Egyptian bronze and Greek coin - virtually worthless, Hong Kong 10 cent, Straits settlements 20 cent and French 1863 1 Franc - all worth a few pounds each. Best by a long chalk so far is the Norway Specie Daler dated 1855 - needs to be checked to ensure it is genuine - if so could be worth £100+ Report this Post to the Staff
