    Neat!

    It's an undefined term. Some believe it to be millionths of an inch, but I've yet to see anything that provides a definition.

    Orientation is correct and coin looks okay. Xian Feng (Hsien Feng in Wade-Giles) 10 cash, appears to be Board of Revenue mint (Beijing / Peking). These were pretty unpopular (people at the time wanted "real" money), and these tended to circulate only in the Peking / capital area, at 2 cash (sometimes 3) - basically their scrap value.

    Grand Canyon and Hot Springs. The Grand Canyon looks only EFish, I'm guessing it spent part of the last two years in vending machines.

    Very nice - Straits large cents are always a challenge

    They're gold plated - the reference is to the thickness of the plating. Generally speaking, most items advertised as such are generally items that I would suggest be bought only if you appreciate them artistically, as collectibility and resale value is generally very limited.

    Hello! Is there anything in particular you wish to know about these 3rd century antonianii?

    Congrats! Any Korean set is always a challenge. I presume coins are same specs as contemporary Japanese pieces?

    Very nice!

    Stunning!

    Okay, sounds like they're both pennies if I'm not mistaken. The 1797 is relatively common, though your piece is better than usual for the type. Value - perhaps $10-20? The 1858 is quite nice - catalogue value for a non overdate 1858 is £95 - though I'm not sure what they actually sell for.

    They're regular circulation (pocket change) coins in mint condition that were gold plated. BTW, Japan never had control of Macau, even during WWII - where it essentially acted as the Switzerland of the Pacific theatre in terms of being a netural place that was likely used by one or both sides for money laundering, etc.

    Roman, 3rd-4th century. Value would be limited due to the very low grade of the coins. Middle coin top row and third coin (from left) bottom row both appear to be "soldier spearing fallen horseman" types, c. 350s AD, which is probably one of if not the most commonly encountered Roman coin today.

    First is British - farthing, halfpenny or penny depending on size. Last is from Portugal or a Portugeuse speaking place (e.g. Brazil, Azores)

    Probably as an attempt to pass off as error.

    Very interesting!

    If you can provide the diameter of the pieces that would held in confirming their denominations.

    Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a mint error - in my opinion someone sandwiched this coin between what looks like a wheat cent and a liberty nickel and smashed with a hammer - resulting in the designs from the other coins showing up incused and backwards on this coin.
