Billyboy New Member Australia 15 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 05:32 am Thank you for previous repliesI have finally finished sorting through my grandfather's box of old Australian pennies, half pennies etc. I found a few coins which I can't identify. Maybe somebody might like to view them. Maybe there are some of interest, unfortunately the majority have seen better days. Thanks for all your help.

Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 07:39 am The cash coin (the one with the square hole in it) is indeed from the Chinese Empire, from the reign of the Jia Qing emperor (1796-1820 AD), cast at the Guangdong (Kwangtung) mint. Listed in the Krause world coin catalogues as KM# 449. These coins don't have a date on them, so that date range is as accurate as we can get with these coins. Tax tokens were issued by several US states during the 1930's at the introduction of state sales taxes (the US equivalent of our GST) with face values in mils, or tenths of a cent. Though they could be considered to be "coinage" issued by the state governments (and on that basis I collect them, as part of my "one from every country" collection), you won't find them listed in the coin catalogues. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 08:00 am More: Dutch East Indies or Netherlands East Indies can be listed under Indonesia. A 1898 cent is a coin that's not rare but also not the most common (mintage 36.6 million as opposed to 162 million in 1857 or 7.5 million in 1907 and 1909 of the same series). In my old Krause it's $5.00 in Fine. Report this Post to the Staff
DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 08:04 am Now your Dutch 10 cents might be interesting. The king's (Willem II) head is turned to the left, what means that even though the date is barely discernable, we can be sure it's the 1848-49 series. Krause lists 2 varieties of the 1849 coins, "dot after date" ($15 in Fine) and "without dot after date" ($35 in Fine). Check if you can see a trace of the dot, or not Now this is not Fine, but also the valuations are outdated. Report this Post to the Staff
Billyboy New Member Australia 15 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 5:44 pm Thanks for the explanations. You people know your stuff. The Dutch 10 cents looks like it has the date 1849 on it and I cant see a dot after the date, there again it is difficult to see, so I could be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
valutarick Valued Member Netherlands 376 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 10:40 am Quality is very poor of the Dutch 10 cents. The portrait is recognizable. Value is no more than 10 euro in this condition, auction prices for 1849 nearly uncirculated is round and about 50-60 euro. Report this Post to the Staff
