Hoss - these are both obverse (front) photos. The denomination is on the back, but they look like Great Britain one new pence to me. Did you have a question about them?

Both appear proportionate to Canadian cents. This mystery will be solved when we can view the reverses.  |

Asking questions is what we're all here for Well, that and being able to share with fellow collectors, and the relaxed family atmosphere! Can't wait to see the reverse pictures!  |

They do appear to be Canadian cents to me too, but reverse pics will certainly say for certain...

She's too young in the first coin to be a new pence , I'm thinking thats a sixpence.
The second coin is either a 5p or a 10p depending on size , cant see scale in picture.

It would be the same for the UK Kurt , way I'm thinking is the same poster has loads of other British coinage on display , no reason to think these wouldnt be British too. I reckon an old sixpence and a new 10p the more I look , its been a year and a half sice I last used one  Well...education is a great thing , one look told me you guys are right , they are both Canadian.

I won't comment on the values, I'll let someone else tackle that.
On another note, I could 'wring' the individuals neck who scratched that 10 cent up like that.

Hi, Your 10c is worth $0.72 in silver content. But of course, both are worth more in sentimental value. Quote:

I can't tell for sure, but the cent appears to be a 1953, NSF. The date is too rough to be sure, but if it is 1953, the OBV diagnostic indicates NSF no SShoulder fold. Kurt, youur eyes are better than mine, what say you?
