Hello everyone, Since Covid 19 I have been working on building a world coin collection and loving it. Lots of research reading about different countries, eras conflicts, etc. Well, I just came across on that has stumped me a bit.... it is a 10 agorot coin from Isreal I am coming up with 1984 but this design was not used until 1985... I know I am missing something but not sure where. Thanks in advance for your help.
Well this stinks... I just found my own answer..it is 1987. Here is the site I am using to obtain the dates: Reading Coin Dates (worldcoingallery.com). Is there another site? The 1987 does not look anything like the date I thought it was, 1984. So is it the site or is it the engraver or is it option number 3, I have a lot more to learn, lol
If you have the Krause catalog it shows all the dates at the beginning of the listing for Israel. I still struggle with them though. It's a hard country to read the dates because they don't always print them the same. I have this trouble with Thailand too.
Thailand is a little tough but year 2500 is 1957, or Thailand date minus 543. Krause has a really good symbol conversion page as well, see the Thai-lao line. The older Thailand coins are definitely harder to read.
