Whatzit Coins......wanna take a stab at them?

[SgtSki in MI]

I don't even remember where I came across these or when. I came across them going through my stash of finds. I have included the Wheatie for size comparison ( I'm WELL aware what that one is )

Here's a shot of the obverses....you can see a profile of a head on both of them and some letters on the one on the left (Latin?)


And here's the reverses. What I see are images on people on both of them. The one on the right looks like an adult and a kid and there is more letters on the right edge.




I forgot all about even having these.......anyone have a clue of what they are. I want to say they're Roman of some type but in truth I don't have the foggiest.

Thanx in advance for any help!

True Ivan but, I have never eaten one. But salmon have the mud vein as well and if you cut that out it makes the fish taste much milder. The mud vein is the back side of any fish. It is a nasty brown that no matter what you do to cook it stays "mushy" Fat

I can remember as a kid I would go down to the river with a can of Delmonte corn. I would take a handful and "chum" the hole first///It drove them crazy! I have caught carp way over 20 lbs And yes, they can fight. For those of you wondering what a steelheasd is, it is the best gamefish to catch in the world in my opinion! Basicly it is a hybrid ranibow trout that we have caught in small rivers that go over 20 pounds!

Yes I did that also as a kid in the Sierra Nevada's (Lee Vining - Lundy Lake). The rainbow, like you say, went crazy about the corn!

The upper coin is obviously U.S. minted...I'm suprised that nobody caught that

Geez I forgot all about even mentioning that one!!! I believe that's a Lincoln One Cent Coin with Wheat Ears Reverse which was minted in the United States of America between 1909 and 1958! (but I've been known to be wrong). Anyway thanks Stefan for reminding me to mention it!

Seriously though....Thanks to crusader for ID'ing those coins. I figured someone in the UK could shed some light on them. I'm pretty sure that they were in grab bags of world coins that I used to get cheap from a coin shop in California when I was stationed there in the Marine Corps.

Hey sarge, sorry we hijacked (oops can't say that) your thread but someone mentioned fishing and we got side tracked. It's spring here in Missouri and its kinda like deer season for us guys (and gals) that fish. Its hard to stay on the subject at hand if fishin' gets mentioned.

Glad Cru IDed your coins for ya right off the bat though,

You got an extremely rare Wheatie there HH! Wow, a Wheatie with the wheat design milled on both sides with what looks like the same die (obverse/reverse). Sure wonder how that happened at the mint...
