Hmmm... I dont know what they are worth, but I know that the first picture (the one with the palm tree) is an Israeli coin, but I dont know of its value or its date.

Thanks for the lead on the Israel coin. I found that it is a 1961 - 10 Agorot. Now my question is their are two types Krause says their is the normal one and one with "Fatha" in Aribic,leg:"Israel which is worth considerable more in value. So which is it??

Sears token is not of any special value, nor is the game token...it's a video game arcade token from Alladin's Castle, a chain of mall arcades.

Sorry, I don't do world coins...the only thing I can say about it is that coins looking just like that one were in circulation there in the early 80s. As for the Arabic, I can read it, but that would do you little good in figuring out what a "fatha" is. The Arabic, to no surprise says, "Israel".

I seem to have overlooked this question.

The "fatha" variety is one, I believe, where there is an error in the Arabic word for "Israel". This error is a small apostrophe-shaped extension on a letter in the Arabic writing parallel to the palm tree.

tbirde's site has a good pic of it:

You have to go about 2/3 the way down to find "Israel" variety pics.

That means Pubcrawler's coin does not have the "fatha". Maybe it has a "mutha" on it.
