Mystery Coins...Can anyone ID?

[killerwine]

Found these...I have another identical 20 cent dated 1957. I also have 3 more 10 cents dated 1957 (2) and 1953 (1). Any ideas? Found them all listed on e-bay with no info about the coins...Funny what people will turn in in their change...

British Commonwealth coins...what's your question?

I don't have my world coin catalog handy but I'll give it a shot.

From left to right -

#1 & #3 are from what is now Malaysia but was then under British control with each area having its own coin issues. #1 is from Borneo and #3 from Malaya.

#2 is India.

#4 was issued for parts of the Carribbean, also under British rule, that include IIRC Barbados, Antigua and the Leeward Islands. Each of these territories has their own coinage now. I have a couple of 10 cent coins like this.

Couldn't help you values until I get a look at my catalog when I get home.

Any ideas what they are made of?

The British ones are prob copper nickel, though I'll double check when I get home. Not sure about the Indian one.

After a quick check of the big book I can confirm the three Brit coins are copper nickel and the Indian one is solid nickel. All are worth a dollar or two.
