Hello,
I got some coins in a bag of .999 nickel from the LCS. Can you help me ID these ones? Are they .999 nickel? I confirmed that they stick to a magnet.

First seems to be a French Morocco franc, nickel.

Bottom left is Turkey, 20 Para AH1327 Yr 5, KM 761

The other two on the bottom are China-republic, Year 25 (1936), 10 cent Y349

Wow, impressive details...Thank you.

Are they "pure" nickel?

Based on the size difference between the Morocco Dirhams and the Chinese coins, I'd say the later might be 5 Cents Y348 not 10 cents Y349 - same design

I stand corrected, you are right it is 5 Cents Y348, the tell is the character to the left of the spade (upside down in picture) is the symbol for 5 in 'official chinese'.
