I got some more coins today,and was wanting to know anything anybody can tell me about them please. Here they are: 1984 Republika NG Pililinas 50 sentimo 1983 Australia 5 1982 Republica De Panama 5 The other is some kind of Oriental,and has a hole in the middle,I can't post a pic so I'm at a loss on that one. Thanks,:) sn31.
Philippine 50 sentimos 1984: quite common; 10¢ in VF, $1 in Unc. The bird has the lovely moniker of "monkey-eating eagle".
Australia 5¢ 1983: well, they're 5¢ here in Australia; I can't comment on what folks pay for them elsewhere. Krause says 10¢ in EF. The spiky little critter is an echidna, or spiny anteater.
Panama 5 centesimos 1982: also quite common; 10¢ in VF, $1 in Unc.
As for the "Oriental one", is it a "Chinese cash" type, with four characters around a central square hole? Dsking has a couple in this thread. If it's brassy with a round hole and an ear of rice pictured, it's a Japanese 5 yen; they're probably the most common "non-cash" coin that fits that description.
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
Once again,thank you Sap!!This coin fits more in your description of the Japanese 5 yen,it is brassy with a round hole.I assume this would be an ear of rice,but I can honestly say I've never seen one.Very cool though.. :) sn31.
