spookyjr New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/01/2006 7:11 pm It's only 8 coins, but 16 pictures. It's the front and back of each coin. Can someone tell me the country of the coins, and the date if known on the ones that aren't in english? Thanks!

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 05/01/2006 8:03 pm I had to go get my Krause to answer the question better on some of these: 1 Ireland 5 Pence KM-22 2 Switzerland 1/2 Franc KM-23.a.1 3 Israel 5 Agorot KM-25 date is the lowest line on the side with the 5 but I can't see it clearly enough to read it. I think it is 1974 (5734) 4 Ireland Penny KM-11 5 Republic of China Dollar (Yuan) KM 536 year 61 1972 6 Venezuela? 7 Korea 100 Won KM-35 8 Greece 2 Drachma KM-117 Report this Post to the Staff

spookyjr New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/01/2006 8:10 pm A lot better than how I would've done just by looking at them. Ugh at the Dominican Republic coin, I have so many Dominican coins... these coins are from a bag someone gave me at one time, and I am just now going through them. Thanks again for the help! - spookyjr Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 05/01/2006 9:10 pm You are welcome. How long have you been collecting? If you have many foreign coins like these - you might want to consider investing in a Krause book on World Coins. I always wait until they are a year old and appear in our local Overstock bookstore. That way I never have to pay more than a few bucks. One year old is not bad at all because the prices are very similar in 99.9% of the cases and you have to adjust for silver and gold anyway. I love going through junk boxes and seeing how many I can identify without looking them up. Report this Post to the Staff
spookyjr New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/01/2006 9:32 pm I've been collecting coins for about 10 years now, mostly foreign world coins, but I do have a nice amount (maybe 100 or so) of United States coins. I do have a lot of world coins like those posted. Almost none of my coins are worth more than $3, but I love going to coin stores and buying the cheap ones. I just love collecting coins from all over the world, it's a wonderful hobby. Today, I bought a 1897 silver coin from Austria for 75 cents, Lol. What's a Krauss book? I'll have to look into that. I do have the World Coins book, the one that's hundreds, if not 1,000, pages thick. But, it's a 2005 edition. Is a Krauss book similar? - spookyjr P.S., are you from anywhere near a swamp (hence your screen name)? I'm from Louisiana, just wondering. Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 05/01/2006 9:40 pm I'm half Swamp Yankee and half Acadian French. I have some distant relatives that went to Louisiana. In New England swamp Yankees or Swampers are the earliest settlers of the swampy area south west of Plymouth down into Rhode Island. I was raised on the edge of the Acushnet Cedar swamp. My family was in the logging and lumber business for 6 generations - a swamper is also the low man on the logging crew. Sounds like you have Krause - the title is "Standard Catalog of World Coins" by Krause and Mishler - hence the reference abbreviation KM. It is the standard reference work used by most collectors I know - until they specialize. Report this Post to the Staff
