An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Found some old coins when going thru my mom barang barang. She has some old coins and ask me to identify them as she has no England in her.
Found 05x half penny ranging from current queen grandfather (1908), her father (1939) and her majesty (1955,60,67). There also a piece of half crown (1947), what the hell is a half crown? A 1953 six pence and to top it off, 02x straits settlement ten cents coins, both minted in 1919. Too bad both coins are in bad condition, badly oxidifed by age (95 years).
Should I just keep them(the 2 ten cents coin)back in the box or give them to the museum to restore so as to display for future generations?
Sorry, no pictures as I have no idea how to post them and not keen to do it anyway.
