hc8604 Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 05/20/2010 6:35 pm 1st and 2nd is a Japanese 10 cent (sen) coin, 1939. 3rd and 4th is an Australian coin, 1 penny, 1919 (obviously) :D 5th pictured are the Republic of China coins dated 1936 and 1940. You don't have pictures of the reverse so I assume 5 (5 fen) and 10 (1 jiao) cents? 6th and 7th is a ROC, Kwangtung province, 20 cent coin, silver, 1921. 8th, next to the coin already identified is the same one, but dated 1936. Looks like a French coin above? Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 05/20/2010 10:21 pm Gutkowski- These are all farily common coins. Some are worth a few dollars, and others less than that. But all in all a nice lot of coins that have significance to your family. I would just recommend putting them into some nice cardboard 2X2s or some non-PVC flips. Report this Post to the Staff

pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 05/21/2010 12:26 pm These are all in nice condition and appear to have excellent patinas acquired over time. DON'T try to rub them "clean" and shine them up, either, or you'll destroy what value they do have. BTW the "French" 25 centimes coin I'd guess is from French Indochina (Indochine Francais), right?

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 05/21/2010 1:37 pm Yes I agree DO NOT clean them. It only destroys a coin to clean it. pls- Actually the French coin is a 25 centimes coin from France. There were other denominations with similar designs at the time, all of which are very common.
