My Mother gave these to me yesterday. I didnt know that my grandfather had this little stash of coins. It was so much fun going through them. also had hundreds of wheat pennies and lots of foreign coins.

It may already be too late, but you are probably HOOKED into coin collecting, and then eventually CRH. We are all here on the TN to help if and when we can. It's a good start, congrats.

It is great that it was saved to pass along to you. These coins will offer a double whammy. Learning about the coins you have plus remembering your grandfather who collected them.

Any idea of what the really big one is

Weren't, "Marks" German? And the double crossing flags one French?

 

[Noah_D]

I'm not sure which coin you were talking about when you said the really big one... but here is a link to some info about the coin that has two flags, I didn't see an exact match but they are VERY similar. Chinese Numismatics in Research Copper Coin III

The Marks are German. But I’m not sure about the crosses flags.

I believe you are definitely in the right ballpark with those

i think we all started the same way...dads war coins and grandpas pocket full of silver and the silver dollars grandma gave us when we were born became the start of our collections.
