We've inherited a few coins... Anything interesting in this small collection?

    Nothing jumps at me but those are not my areas per se. Mostly they are likely their value is non-monetary and a link to your family. Did they pick these up in travels?

    Not much there I'm afraid. It looks like coins collected on travels.

    The Australian "silver" coins are actually made of sterling silver (.925 fine), and the Canadian dime on the left is silver too. But that's probably where most of the monetary value in this accumulation can be found.

    The object at bottom right is a "trick coin", part of a child's "teach yourself magic" kit. The rather worn brass object above it is a giveaway promotional medal issued for Pontiac cars back in the pre-WWI era. Not worth much, in this heavily worn condition.

    And the second link doesn't work, because it was missing the colon after "https". Just manually add it after clicking the link and you'll see the picture. Or click here instead:

    Sapyx, you never cease to surprise me! 🙄
