My neighbour found this necklace of coins hidden away in a secret drawyer of a jewlery box she bought
at a garage sale. She only paid a $1 for the box. She knows I'm a fanatic about coins. But I don't know foreign coins very well.
She only gave me the one pic. Can anyone ID the coins ages or value?

Thanks,
Fishstank

Hi Fishtank, and a Happy New year to everyone on Tnet. I have just got back from my Xmas hols and logged on to get my fix. Boy have you guys been busy. Anyway back to your post, SS and shaun picked out the short cross and the Tudor coin among others so now it's my turn. The very top coin could be a silver maundy penny and about the 9th coin from the top looks like a James 2nd fourpence circa 1686-88 and there is another about 6 coins from the bottom. They look real to me but without seeing them in my hand as it were it's hard to tell although the wear on the coins looks authentic.
A very nice find :icon_thumleft:. At least 2 hours detecting for the likes of Cru and SS.

Look real to me. There is some islamic silver there,along with the british,french etc. People part with valuable things. Probably someone died and an unknowing relative sold them. I picked up some cheap Roman coins that way once. Good job, kane 23

Get 'em scoped out, but despite the probablity of them being cheapies, there is a chance that they could be real.

not worth much to the collector, after the idiot put holes in them all. Some nice hammered silver otherwise!
