Need Some Coin Help

[MPH200]

My Father-in-law bought a box of coins at a garage sale. There are quite a few old coins & they are all foreign. Any information you can add will help. Thank you. I will post both sides of each coin, a few at a time.

MPH200,

This coin is from France silver as to denomination and date it would be shown on the reverse.

Condition I'd rate it as fine.

Regards + HH

Bill

Thanks Bill. I was trying to upload the pics from my phone - lost cause. I will upload them tomorrow from my office.

I am not sure what the first one is - token?
The second in a Civil War Reunion coin








Any help would be appreciated - sorry to blow up the thread with so many pics.

Not sure what he paid, but if those are real your father-in-law scored a lot of silver, at least.

This is what he thought. He paid $10 for the lot. I thought due to the age of some of the coins there would be more numismatic value than just silver.

A lot of nice coins! Sorry but there are too many for me to even fathom of giving prices! However, I will state that the Chinese Dollar on page 1 is a fake (note the porousness of the coin's surface which is due to the metal being poured into a mold and developing air bubbles) and the Widow's Mite is likely a fake as well.

The 1832 5 Lire, if it is real, is worth around $400! $10 for the entire lot is an unbelievable deal! There is a great deal of value in those coins. If I may ask, how long ago did your father-in-law buy these coins?

He bought them about 3 months ago. He lives out in east Texas in the country & loves garage sales. Thank you everyone for the help, I know there are a lot of coins.

We thought it was, but apparently there is a market for the fakes too.
