Here we will look at a silver 1943 D Denver Thomas Jefferson Nickel 5 cents piece.  In this year the D mint made 15.294 million of these which is a somewhat less of a production than comparable war nickels.  This coin is partially made out of silver, in fact thirty five percent of it is made out of the precious metal.  It has precisely .05626 ounces of silver included in it.  Most of the rest of this coin (56%) is of the metal copper and the remainder Manganese.  As you may have noticed in the photos below ours is not the greatest looking example.  Perhaps it may grade in the very good, V8 range.  These coins unfortunately (maybe because of their metal composite) do not take to wear very well and often look like this. Jefferson Nickels feature third President of the USA Thomas Jefferson on their obverse.   He is well remembered for his contributions to early America including his role with the Declaration of Independence, the Louisiana Purc...

1955 Fifty Lire L.50 Italian Coin Repvbblica Italiana L 50 The Lira was formerly the currency for the country of Italy until it adopted the Euro in the year 1999 (though the former was honored until 2002).  Its use dates back nearly 200 hundred years and at one time certain Lire (plural for Lira) coin denominations had silver and even gold in them. See the pictures of an Italian fifty Lire coin (Koin Kuno Italia) from 1955.  The front of this example has a picture of Ceres who was the Roman goddess of grain.  The back of this coin has a man with a hammer hitting an anvil, perhaps a blacksmith.  This L.50 Lire is made out of stainless steel and something like seventy million were made.  This one would grade at least extra fine as wear is minimal.

What we have here is a 1889 Great Britain Half Crown Coin featuring Queen Victoria.  On the Obverse is Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.  She also held the title of Empress of India.  The design of the obverse of this coin is commonly known as "Jubilee Head."  This 1889 Half Crown is sterling silver.  The legend on the front reads "Victoria Dei Gratia" which is Latin for Victoria by the grace of God.  On the reverse side of this coin is crowned arms within a chain with the date at the bottom.  The reverse legend reads "Britanniarum Regina FID DEF"which is stating that she is the Queen of British Territories and Defender of the Faith.   There were 4.812 million of these struck in 1889.

This post will be about a 1894 Austro-Hungary Empire 10 Heller coin.  This is relatively common as there were 45.558 million of these made that year.  The metal make up of it is nickel and its weight is light at 3 grams.  On its front is an eagle with 2 heads, holding a sword in its left talon and what appears to be a royal helmet in the right.  This was the coat of arms for the Austro Hungarian Empire which was no longer at the end of the World War 1.  The back of this coin has a decorative shield with the value and the year.  Our example here appears to be in extra fine condition. The Krone was the currency of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from the year 1892 until its liquidation at the end of the WWI.  This currency was initiated as part of its going onto the gold standard.  The Heller was a subdivision (100 to 1) of the Krone.

Here we will take a look at a 1 Markka coin from Finland.  This coin is from the year 1972 and on its front is a crowned lion with a sword in its hand.  Below the lion is the year plus Suomen Tasavalta (which translates into English as Republic of Finland).  The back or reverse side has the denomination and images of trees.  This coin is struck from copper and nickel and has a weight of 6.099 grams.  There were approximately 19.8 million of these made in 1972.  At the bottom of this entry are pictures of our 1972 Finland 1 Markka coin. The Markka was the former currency of Finland which was discontinued in 2002.  It was in existence for more than 140 years and was replaced by the Euro.   At one time the Markka was pegged to the US dollar.

The first year the Franklin silver half dollar was produced was 1948. There was over 3 million of them that were minted in Philadelphia and greater than 4 million struck in Denver (D mint mark which can be found on the reverse under United States of America). John Sinnock was the mastermind behind the design (plus also is credited with the Roosevelt dime) though it was initially the director of the mint at the time’s idea. It has the great forefather and genius inventor Benjamin Franklin on the front of the coin. The back is adorned with the Liberty Bell and a muscular American Eagle. It is a coin that is 90% silver or .3617 ounces (10.254 grams) of the precious metal in its content and rest of which is copper.
