Need help with coins...

[aturner3739]

Hey everyone, I'm new to collecting and to the site. I got a small purse of coins at a yard sale like 15 years ago (I went with my grandma every Saturday and just bought whatever I could with the few bucks I had- I was like 9 so it wasn't from knowledge of valuables so much as the money burning a hole in my pocket). Anyways I found this the other day and finally took a look at them. I recognize the peace dollar and half dollars, although I don't know much about their value. I believe the rest are foreign? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The pictures look like a blur. Impossible to tell without clear pics.

Sorry about that.. These should be easier to see.

the brown ones are Chinese cash coins from the late teens early 20's

the chewed up one in Japanese 5 sen late 30's

the one with the flower in the middle is Japanese 10 sen, early 40's

the other ones you car read....not any real value to any of these but the peace dollar is silver and nice to have even being warn as it is.

I didn't think they would bring much in terms of value (selling-wise) but still pretty cool to have! Thanks for your help and the link!

You can spend those half dollars as they are only worth face value, unless you specifically collect half dollars by year/mintmark. The other coins have little to no value. As stated, the Peace Dollar is the prize of the lot.
