Awesome Box Of Foreign Coins

gotta love those German coins!

@ svslav: Sorry, not a single Turkish coin in the lot. However, I can post a pic for you, of the only one in my small collection, if you like.

@moe: Thanks! I have been deeply involved in collectibles hobbies for most of my life. It is the sharing and the camaraderie that makes them worthwhile.

ONWARD, INTO THE TRUE TREASURE !

Before I finish out this effort, I would like to ask a small favor of you folks: PLEASE PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK on each of the following silver coins. Remember, I am far from any kind of expert in this vast field, and my printed references are way out of date.
So please tell me anything about these box-tokens that you feel is relevant, i.e. scarcity level, approximate grade, current catalog value, personal impressions, whatever.
And just for fun, everyone assign each coin their own 'Drool Factor' number from one through nine, one meaning 'I would not stoop to pick it off the sidewalk', to nine, 'I would dive into a steaming fetid sewer in my underwear to retrieve it' !

The first batch includes coins of approximately USA-quarter size (24mm). This is normally my cut-off size for silver coins I keep, not because smaller silver is uninteresting, but simply because I need parameters and goals that are easily definable so I do not get too overextended. However, I may have to make a few exceptions after sorting through this amazing lot. Now here we go, from smallest to largest:



size = 23mm. This coin has sharp details and lovely rainbow toning.



Japan, 100 yen? year = ? size = 23mm.



Spain, 4 reales; size = 23.5mm.



Another Ottoman that should have been with the Cu-Ni; size = 23.5mm.



A Spanish 'baby-head'; size = 23.5mm.



Spain 4 reales; size = 23.5mm.



Papal States; size = 24mm.



Another Spain; size = 24mm.



Another with super sharp detail & lovely rainbow toning. size = 24.5mm.



Second oldest coin in the lot with a visible date. size = 24mm.


Hoooboy, I have no idea about this except there are lots of them
on ebay being peddled by Chinese sellers. size = ~17 x 25 mm.



Holed; worn as pendant; not much detail remaining.
size = ~24 x 27mm.

DON'T BE SHY WITH THE COMMENTARY!

Thanks for the information.

There are about four coins in this photo spread that were not actually in the box, but came as a separate lot from the same estate.
These would be the most recently dated ones, such as the 100 yen. I included them just for show&tell and for exactly the sort of information you just provided. Roll on!

Looks like the one here: http://coins.ha.com/common/view_ite...&Lot_No=6664

Indeed! You never know what you're going to get in those box lots Some awesome coins, and a lot of fun so far, too.

I know what you mean about Isabel!
Nevertheless, the subtle rainbow toning on that coin is very lovely.

Also I am still hoping someone can identify this fat copper, but so far no one has chimed in:




And for those wondering which single coin motivated this purchase, if you have gotten through the pics thus far, then you have already viewed a smaller version of it. Can you guess?

Not sure what "the Shire" is, though.

Another example of the "Ein Greschl" coin was ID'd here on the forum last fall. I figured syslav would point it out, as I looked it up, but was busy actually doing something else.
