    Hey everyone, thanks in advance for your help.

    Trying to identify this nice (but holed) coin I found in a bulk lot. I thought I had it down to a Egypt 10 Para AH1277//9 , but it says its copper and I am just having a tough time , is this really bronze/copper? It looks silver to me. Is 10 Para the correct denomination? It's 29mm , 5.85 Grams Thanks for your help!

    Most likely Bronze

    Maybe...
    • Egypt 10 Para. 1277 / 9
    • KM# 241
    • 6.0700 g., Bronze, 30 mm.
    • Note: Weight varies: 6.10-6.60 grams.
    Could the hole have caused the weight difference?

    Thanks guys for your help - I thought it all pointed to 10 Para 1277/9 as well, except the color had me puzzled, it really looked silver to me. I guess its just toned bronze
