Cleaning up all the stuff on my desk, I have a couple of these capacitors.


473 would indicate 47nF which seems reasonable...just what type are they? as I don't have anything else of the same type
tantalum ? poly-something? ceramic?
I'm really bad with capacitor types

By their size, they look like Ceramic.
(Monolithic possibly)

They look like monolithic ceramic types to me.

I'll go out on a limb and say ceramic also, since I have some blue ones (much smaller, maybe 51pF?) that look like that. I'd think you could tell by the sound also (compared with those common mylar).
