June 25, 200719 yr Well I like to collect abit of coins and as a gift, my grandparents had given me a rather large jar of coins weighting at least 30 pounds, mostly of the United States penny. But looking through the jar I found many coins not native to America, such as Pakistan currency. After awhile of fishing I pulled out a blackish coin that had the Nazis Swastika with the Eagle over it, the same symbol as seen on Hitler's Headquarters. It had writing around it in German that wasn't too clear which I see as "Deutsches Reirn" and 1942 on the bottom. On its back it says 10 circled by what appears to be "Reichspfennig". I have googled it just now and got some results: 10 Reichspfennig and a bunch of other Nazis Coins Found this on Google And the second coin I find that interests me is a coin about the size of a modern day United States quarter. It is copper colored and on the front has a picture of a lady's head with a tiara that says "Liberty" and is incircled with 13 stars, with "1848" written under the woman. When I flip the coin over it reads "One Cent" in the middle with what looks to be a wreath around it and around the wreath it says "United States of America". I found this thanks to *insert guy here who told me about the coin guide*: 1839 - 1857 Braided Hair (series 11) This is from the guide Anyone have any idea about these coins? by the way they are both in good condition.
June 25, 200719 yr The one cent piece is listed in my guide old coin guide as a Young Head Large Cent. It totally depends on what condition it is in as to how valuable it is. The guide is from 1998 and back then it's price ranged anywhere from $10.00 to $225.00 depending on condition.
June 25, 200719 yr That black coin sounds cool. I'd keep it even if it cured cancer and this guy with cancer offered to buy it from me. My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to.
June 25, 200719 yr Upload a picture of the swastika coin? Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that.....
June 25, 200719 yr Not very familiar with old coins unless they'r kopeks. :P That gold penny looks nice. Good finds. the russians are the best! Hands down!
June 26, 200719 yr Well, it dosen't say "Deutsches Reirn", it actually says "Deutsches Reich" which means "German Reich" or "German Realm" Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsches_Reich
