Hey up C-people...
I was elected by my GF's grandma to check out their old stash of world coins. Need ID, and ballpark values if possible on these...

Thanks for any help you can give me...


Cheers,
Eagleeye

Coin - #1 (1872)


Coin - #2 (1862)


Coin - #3 (1878)


Coin - #'s 4 & 5 (Korean i think...can't find them though...)




Thanx again!

Don't have a Krause handy, but I can give you the basics, if that helps.

#1 Sweden (Sverige in native language).

#2 France (Napoleon on front, "Empire Francais" on back)
cannot tell for sure from your images, look below the eagle on the reverse (cinq centimes = 5 centimes, dix centimes = 10 centimes)

#3 Spain (Alphonso on front)

Number 4 and 5 are bus and tram token if I'm not mistaken. Not too sure about the value though.

According to my 2004 Krause (4th ed.):

#1 Sweden 1 ore F 1.00 / VF 3.00 (There are 3 variations of the engraver's initials, but the values are the same.)

#2 France 5 centimes: F 4.00 / VF 12.00, and a buck less in each grade if it's 10 centimes.

#3 Spain 5 centimos: F .75 / VF 12.00

I can help you with the second on easily, I had one that was also a bit of a shard.

Napoleon III (a descendent of Buonaparte) centimes coin, copper, mid-19th century just from looking at that..
It's a 5 centimes "cinq centimes" coin I think, or does it say 10?...

Mid-18th century??? Maybe 19'th...

Hey thanx for the help guys...
Yes i can barely make out Cinq Centimes on the back of Napoleon here now that i have something to go by.

Are 4 and 5 really bus tokens ? If so are they from N. Korea, S. Korea, or .........?

Eagleeye, South Korea, most likely to be from the 1950-70s although I am not too sure of the exact year. It just happened that I had the same tokens and some Korean told me that - I'm assuming that he's right

Not much point correcting such an accidental slip (18th century in place of 1800s) when I can just go back and change it

quoted text you can't change...

Can too!!
