The Perth mint strikes zodiac-themed bullion yearly doesn't it? Pretty sure i've seen several other animals featured

you lucky man! nice chance find

love these jetons, i have one myself but i doubt it's a gaming token even though it is silver and octagonal. Do these turn up with lustre at all?

nice, you've got close to a dollar's worth there!

lovely coin! There were some 1971s and 1976s on auction just days ago too. PF69's as well

nice find!

The pennies were made in either philadelphia, denver or san fran and this will be easily identified by the absence of any mintmark( found right below the year), or the presence of a D or S mintmark. Then it gets even more technical when you get to errors, which

Amazing! Despite their age your coins appear to have escaped the ravages of time!

Here's mine, a lovely gem this one!

nice lot! looking for the 1956 cent myself actually but i don't find them in UNC often
