1943d denver mint thomas jefferson us silver nickel coin koin perak kuno dari negara usa lima cents

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

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.

1894 Austro-Hungary Empire 10 Heller Coin

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.
