My dad had got these coins and tokens from a friend who just passed away. My dad said that he had no use for them so he passed them on to me. Coins date back to mid-1800s with a couple of pieces of spanish silver thrown in. Sorry about the picture quality, thanks for looking. MM2

Re: Foreign coins and tokens collection
I'm not an expert with coins... but I'm thinking you may have some really valuable coins there!?
If not, they are some amazingly beautiful coins!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing them with us....

Rom. 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
Rom. 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Sweet collection you have there.....Love those tokens! I would put them in coin holders and then a binder.....I like to look at my own collection from time to time. The binders make every coin viewable and they don't get worn or damaged by being loose. I am going to guess the coins with the large stars on them are Cuban. Am I right? That druggist weight is my favorite one.
Thank you. Yes, the starred ones are Cuban. The pic shows the reverse of a few. I should put them in holders one of these days. If anyone wants to see pics of any of the reverses, let me know and i'll try to get them up here.
