Weird Coins need ID, prize to best help

Postby AGgressive Metal » Wed Apr 01, 2015 10:37 pm

Who can ID these coins? Country, date, denomination, etc (maybe some help on value?). I don't have time to research these but will send a prize to the person who ID's the most and maybe the runner-up as well (nothing too valuable don't spend the next 24 hours buried in a Krause catalog :P )

Top row:
#1 Chinese Japanese amulet, not a coin
#2 Japan, 20 Sen, looks like Yr9 (1876), KM Y#24, there are two types, one worth 3x the common one, i don't know which one this is
#3 Japan, 1/2 sen, Yr 13 (1880) KM Y16.2, VF=$4, XF=$14
#4 Nepal, Tibet or Indian State-Gwalior, Cobra above crossed spear and trident (cool!), 1/4 Anna, KM 169, 1897-1901, $1 - $2 in that condition.
#5, Indian State, probably gwalior, 1/4 Anna, KM 172, VS1974 (1917) F=$2, VF=$5

Bottom Row:
#1 Nepal, Paisa, most likely KM 629, 1902 - 1911, maybe $1 in that condition.
#2 Military base PX token, US occupation post-war Germany
#3 France,Liard, Louis XVI, (1777-1791) KM 585.?
#4 Egypt, 1/20 Qirsh, ah1327 Yr6 (1913) -H, KM 301 VF=$4, XF=$11
#5 Turkey, 10 Para, AH1293 Yr26 (1900), KM 744 VF=$3, XF=$6

That's all I can determine. It's always more fun to do someone else's homework :angel:

I can't see the bottom row on my computer.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

Always impressed by those on RC that know their coins, especially decoding the eastern ones.
