i got a lot of over 200 coins and boy are you all gonna see me asking for identifications this week. All indian region coins. mughal kushan hindushahi indogreek indoscythianss etc.
What a fun group shot!! I do hope you're joking. Flooding the board with that many "what is this and what is it worth" requests pushes interesting writeups off the front page... writeups other members sometimes spend days or weeks composing. It's a good way to ensure you will be put on Ignore by the people who might otherwise be willing to help you. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancient-coins-beginners’-faq-thread.324858/ From that thread: (Suggested) Guidelines for posting coins for identification One coin per thread. Do not flood the board with requests. Perhaps one per day, or less. Include adequate images of both sides of the coin. The pictures should be in focus, of large enough size, and well lit. Crop the images so we see mostly coin, not a tiny round object on a big table. It is preferable to join the obverse and reverse into one side-by-side image. There are numerous free photo editing apps for this. When cropped, a side-by-side picture of 1000 pixels in width is a good size. If the sides are not joined, 400 to 500 pixels wide is plenty, assuming you've cropped out most of the background. Upload the coin image and show as "Full Image" in thread rather than as a thumbnail. If people have to click to see the image, you won't get as many lookers. Include the weight and diameter of the coin. Tell us how you acquired the coin and any other information which might help. Tell us what steps you've taken so far in your effort to identify the coin. Tell us what you think it might be.
Start with row 2 seventh from the right. What is hat one with the protrusions? Also realize that this is the Ancients section and most who might help you are probably better in the early coins than in things from roughly the 1300's and later.
Wow. What fun that will be...I don't know much about this kind of material, but a lot like that would sure inspire me to learn more. Sometimes I am worried about just how many coins were minted in ancient times and just how many survive. As metal detecting gets better, and more people inhabit the earth... It's a plus for me - 52,000 Indo-Greek drachms hitting the market ought to bring the price down Speaking of hoards, in that random way Wikipedia has about it sometimes, I came across a separate article for the Upchurch Hoard of sestertii. Nice picture too. But at 37 coins, it's a bit of a puzzle why it warranted a separate article (not that I am complaining - I was happy to stumble across it). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upchurch_Hoard
yes the ones unknown to me are older than 1300s. the 7th to right ones not a coin but some kind of pendant / amulet the seller sent me. he also added two ring fragments, generous guy.
HI Muhammad N, I see a big bronze quadruple unit of Eukratides 2nd coin on right from book seam at bottom, and some 16th cent mughal dams probably too, also some kushan ae tetradrachms with wind god (Oado) nice group!
