Coins For Appraisal

Assorted Silver Coins

This item consists of two distinct silver-colored coins, likely made of a silver alloy given their appearance and typical coin compositions of the era. Both coins exhibit significant wear, suggesting considerable circulation or handling over time. The coin on the left features a profiled bust of a female figure facing left, adorned with what appears to be a wreath or floral arrangement in her hair. Surrounding the bust are what look like Latin inscriptions, although they are largely illegible due to wear and the low resolution of the image. The edge of this coin shows a reeded or milled pattern. The coin on the right depicts a standing female figure, possibly Lady Liberty, holding an object (potentially a shield or flag) with rays emanating from behind her or from the lower portion of the design, giving it a 'walking' or 'striding' appearance. The details on this coin are also softened by wear, but the overall design is still discernible. Both coins display a typical metallic luster, dulled by age and handling, with some areas appearing darker due to accumulated grime or natural toning (patina). There are no immediately obvious manufacturing marks or dates clearly visible in the provided image. Based on the design elements, particularly the 'Walking Liberty' style coin on the right, these coins likely originate from the late 19th or early 20th century, a common period for such allegorical figures in numismatics. The lack of sharp details indicates a circulated condition, which would typically reduce their value compared to uncirculated examples, though their silver content and historical significance could still hold value. The craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced coinage of their potential era.
