Who can ID these coins? Country, date, denomination, etc (maybe some help on value?). I don't have time to research these but will send a prize to the person who ID's the most and maybe the runner-up as well (nothing too valuable don't spend the next 24 hours buried in a Krause catalog :P )

Top row:
#1 Chinese Japanese amulet, not a coin
#2 Japan, 20 Sen, looks like Yr9 (1876), KM Y#24, there are two types, one worth 3x the common one, i don't know which one this is
#3 Japan, 1/2 sen, Yr 13 (1880) KM Y16.2, VF=$4, XF=$14
#4 Nepal, Tibet or Indian State-Gwalior, Cobra above crossed spear and trident (cool!), 1/4 Anna, KM 169, 1897-1901, $1 - $2 in that condition.
#5, Indian State, probably gwalior, 1/4 Anna, KM 172, VS1974 (1917) F=$2, VF=$5

Bottom Row:
#1 Nepal, Paisa, most likely KM 629, 1902 - 1911, maybe $1 in that condition.
#2 Military base PX token, US occupation post-war Germany
#3 France,Liard, Louis XVI, (1777-1791) KM 585.?
#4 Egypt, 1/20 Qirsh, ah1327 Yr6 (1913) -H, KM 301 VF=$4, XF=$11
#5 Turkey, 10 Para, AH1293 Yr26 (1900), KM 744 VF=$3, XF=$6

That's all I can determine. It's always more fun to do someone else's homework :angel:

Always impressed by those on RC that know their coins, especially decoding the eastern ones.
