Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 04/01/2006 07:19 am For your latest group picture, and counting from top left, you've got: Line 1: Coins 1 to 6: German 2 pfennigs and 5 pfennigs. Scoutjim outlined the periods, but that's a good cross-section of German historical periods you've got there. I can't tell if coin number 3's colour is natural, but from what I can see it seems in pretty good condition. Coin 7: Mexico 5 centavos. Coin 8: USSR 2 kopeks. Line 2: Coin 9: Japan 10 yen. These are tricky to date; you'd need to familiarize yourself with the Sino-Japanese numeral system. Coin 10: USSR 3 kopeks. Coins 11 and 12: Israel 5 sheqalim, 1990's period. Another country with hard-to-date coins; you basically need the "how to convert Hebrew dates" guide from the Krause catalogue. The first (with the portrait) is a one-year--only commemorative from 1990; the second is the "normal" design, issued from 1990 to today. Coins 13 and 15: West African States 10 and 25 francs. Coin 14: French West Africa 10 francs - same place as the other two, just a different name (from the colonial, pre-independence period). Line 3: Coin 16: Canada 1 cent. Coin 17: Nazi Germany zinc 2 pfennig. Coin 18: No idea. It's a bit flat . Does that say "1 kreuzer"? It might be a German States coin, or perhaps Austrian. Coin 19: West Germany 10 pfennig. It's supposed to be brass-clad steel, but someone's taken the brass away! Coin 20: Philippines (U.S. colony) 1 centavo. Coins 21 and 22: Panama 5 centavos and 1 decimo. 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
Heather the Hoarder Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 04/01/2006 9:18 pm If you are really getting into world coins, it's time for you to get a copy of "The Phone Book". Krause's Standard Catalog of World Coins, as big and thick as a phone book, will help you identify most of what you are likely to find. These books are available in four volumes, each covering a century. I have all four, and they list coins all the way back to 1601. These books are comprehensive, listing all of the regular-issue and commemorative world coins that they know about. (Patterns, tokens, fantasy pieces, medals, and jetons are beyond the scope of the books.) I have thousands of world coins, and thanks to these books, very few remain unidentified.
