ALOT of i.d. Help.

[bblaha]

I was driving home from school and passed a yard sale that kids from my school were buying old clothes and fanny packs at to be funny so I thought id stop by. My friend noticed a bag of foreign coins in a box so I asked how much they wanted for it and without even looking at the coins the guy said $15 so I thought why not and I took it. Heres what was in it. Any info on any of these would be great, especially concerning value or country of origin. Some coins have dates that would make them silver in the U.S. but not sure about other countries. If you need more detailed pictures let me know and I'll try my best. Thank you very much

I can't help id all those foreign coins but that's a cool find. I would have bought them too.

I'll help you with the IDs tomorrow. They all seem common, none are silver.

Eire is from Ireland. The yen is from Japan. 1972 10 centavos is from portugal. The L.500 coin is a 500 Lire coin from Italy. the 1997 5 cents coin is from the netherlands i believe. I cant quite make out the picture however. The PTA's are from spain.

All the US coins are worth face, the reproductions are worth nothing, and the token and button you should ask someone else about.


What year is the top middle Canadian quarter in the Canadian coin picture?

Sorry it's taken me so long. Canadian coin dates are, a 1968 quarter, 1978 quarter, 1992 nickel, 1979 dime

 

[bblaha]

Thanks man

 

[PhattyB]

Hold that 1968 canadian to a magnet. If it doesn't stick, it's 50% silver. I'd almost say it is from the coloration.

 

[bblaha]

Thanks will do, I'll let you know

 

[GlenDronach]

Yes, that quarter looks silver. Give it a magnet test.

 

[bblaha]

Didn't stick!

 

[GlenDronach]

Well you've got about 3 bucks in silver then!

 

[sagittarius98]

Didn't stick!

It has 0.0937 troy oz. of silver, as it is only .500 silver. I knew it was silver almost 100% sure by the toning of the coin.
