tj098 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Please help me to identify those coins. My brother collected them long ago, who has vague idea about those coins wants to know what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tj098 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thank you both for the warm welcome and detailed information. I googled the 1872 Straits and come up with this (you were right, the closer look at the appears to be 1872): Year 1872 1872H Mintage - 5,770,000 Note only proof Small H below neck V.Fine - 20 E.Fine - 110 Uncirculated - 470 Proof 7500 Rare I needed to google meaning of the each column. How do you grade those coins, because we are not sure if those coins would fit at least to "Very fine". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 The Straits cent would grade between "About Good" and "Good", which would be several grades below "Very Fine". The grading system goes: Poor Fair About Good Good Very Good Fine Very Fine Extremely Fine About Uncirculated Uncirculated (Proofs are specially made collector versions with special dies and usually stronger strikes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj098 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thank you CCG so much, you've been very helpful. About the Indian temple, Indian dump, and the Spanish early 1800, can someone give me more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabnoles Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think the Spanish coin could be a maravedis coin of some sort. Cannot read the date or denomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
