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?

I have a Troll doll from the 1960s inscribed with 'USA Foreign Patent Pending' on her back. I got this doll when we lived in Germany, and it still has its original felt-like clothes. What is the value of this doll, and what else should I know about it?

I have a collection of 135 pieces of Royal Cauldon 6135, including various sizes of plates, bowls, tea cups and saucers, serving bowls with lids, a tea pot, creamer pitcher, sugar bowl, egg cups, and smaller tea cups and saucers. The collection seems incomplete with only 14 tea cups with handles and 4 dinner plates. What is the worth of these pieces, and should I make a set and sell the rest individually?
