1950's - 1960's. Italy and middle East for the most part. Very common material but fun items to collect nonetheless.

What Stallzer said PLUS......GET THEM OUT OF THAT ALBUM QUICK !

The album has been kept in a damp place at some time and some stamps are toned and the album edges are brown. Remove the stamps into something more safe.

Nice looking Italian revenue (income tax, I think) stamp on the 8th page. The horizontal one with the scales. Interesting.

as a coin collector I'm drooling that you found some old coins as well as stamps.

The same principles apply as with stamps. Keep them in a safe, dry place.

As to value, upload pics and someone here can help you, (or me).

If you have a collection of used coins, condition is everything. If you have silver, the silver value alone will give them some value.

Look up each coin in a coin collecting book....you never know when you might have a rarity, but based on what we saw with the stamps, it is probably a collection that came out of circulated coins, but could still be nice.

If you have gold coins, then, you've struck gold with today's coin prices!

Please don't clean them using any harsh chemicals or abrasives. A toothbrush and soapy water is OK I believe, but nothing stronger.
