I have a large ornate set of dishes with gold trimming, about 77 pieces, with only 4 having small chips. The largest platter has two lines next to each other. I need to know more about the dish and how to send photos for appraisal. Is there a cost involved, and how long does an answer usually take?

I have a Nippon small bowl on legs that is white and hand-painted with six scallops around the edge. It came from my old aunt. Additionally, I have a small black serving pot with the name Hall printed on the bottom in gold and made in the USA, with gold trim on the lid and rim. I also have a creamer and sugar set on a tray that came from my grandmother, received as a wedding gift. It says RIS with a logo and Germany on the bottom, and it is bone china with gold trim and a pale yellow color with a picture of a basket filled with flowers. How old are these items and where could they have been made?

My husband and I received an ancient Roman coin as a gift from a family friend. According to what we were told, it was discovered in a field near the Fiumicino Airport sometime in the 1940's. This coin was one of many discovered on that day. It appears to be made of some type of metal. On one side of the coin, it looks like the head of a Roman Emperor. On the reverse side, it looks like an archer. The coin is 1.25" in diameter and a little thicker than a $.25 piece. What is the coin and what is its value?
