Thank you everyone for the replies. I really appreciate it.  I'll just keep it in the holder I have it in. 

Thank you for the reply. 

Thank you. Possibly by chance do you know what a dealer would sell this coin for? 

I was just curios if this 1854 qauter dollar would be worth having it sent in and graded. 

Thanks in advance 

Heres the ring

I dabble in ancients but am no means an expert.  However, I'm concerned about the uniform size of the planchets as well as the each coin being nicely centered.  That is very unusual and gives me a reason to be concerned.   Also, if I recall correctly, the Naxos coin may be worth 6 figures and has been extensively copied.

I would wait for more input before sending them in, and  would be surprised if they were authentic.  Just my opinion

It's really hard to say especially with the only info I have on the coins is from a sweet old lady I got them from , my mom's older friend had them and I used to do handy man stuff around the house for her for years and I never once charged her any money and one day she came and got me after I was finishing  up building some ramps for her house to make it more wheel chair friendly and she said I got something I wanna show you .

she then told me how her dad loved rock hounding and metal detecting and that she had some of his treasures that he was really proud of digging up and said he would always bring them out and show his friends and then she said I've been waiting for the right person to give them to there was also a really cool ring that I still have I'll post a picture I know nearly nothing about it but it is really neat . So at least I do know that she thought they were something really special and I just cherish that she chose to leave them with me regardless if they are real or fake. She did say tho that her dad said they  were silver coins.

Good luck. It's possible you could be pleasantly surprised. I hope that you are. If you are, please post the slabs so I can learn a little.

Thank you and i most definitely will.  

Its hard to tell from the picture but looks to be silver i could be wrong. I think i will send them in for grading just to make sure they arent authentic even tho you probably are right .  Thank you for answer all my questions. 

Thank you i really appreciate your time in helping these coins really had me stumped. The lady i got them from for doing work for her didnt know much about them beside that her dad found them with his metal detector and he passed away so i couldnt ask him any questions. 

Only thing im kinda confused on is they look to be silver under the crudy residue. I can take some better picture if it would at all help . 

Again i wanna thank all of you for your time.  

And another question what do i do to comfirm they are fakes.

Kindly convert those to mm, if you will.

In the meantime, I took a stab at the obvious Tarentine piece. Problem: that design is not found in Wildwinds under Calabria/Tarentum. If you go looking there, you'll see that people riding dolphins are the main motif, and that hardly any of them have such a clear legend. This is making me curious, though a part of me is thinking there must be another place in the Greek-speaking world with the same name, because 'Tarentinion' is quite clear and means 'of the Tarentines' as I understand it.

Thank you i really appreciate the advice i will as soon as i get home. 

Anyone know what they could be worth?
