Hello, I have this handful of coins sitting on my desk waiting to be ID’d and I was hoping maybe someone here could point me in the right direction. Coin #1 5.39g Coin #2 5.15g Coin #3 2.25g Coin #4 2.58g Coin #5 1.82g
#1 reminds me of some Indian coins, #5 Morocco. #2-#5, I'm not sure of. Of course this is not even close to anything I collect. There is someone here in CT that collects these coins, but for the life of be I can't recall who it is.
