    HI COINTALK MEMBERS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
    It's been long time I don't have internet connection at my house,that's why I was inactive.
    Now I'm back & missed the forum:eating:

    my latest purchases are: Queen Victoria Cyprus 3 Piastres 1901 & 9 Piastres,also I bought 100 Mils 1955 & new Euro Cyprus 2008 1 Euro & a Morgan Dollar.

    Also bought a miniature coin (ultra small!) dated 1888,but I still don't find/know what is it.
    Front: Armor with a Lion in front of it (The Lion looks like Peugot car logo)
    Back: 2 1/2 (Two And Half) circuled with dots, 1888 is the date & words (slav* language) maybe russia,hungary,austria,serbia I dunno,...:headbang:
    . ABP CTOTHKN.
    at the two sides of the date there are two stars.
    as consider dots the stars: . 1888 .
    the stars has the shape of stars of David.

    any clue?

    HAGOP, the coin in question is almost undoubtedly a 2 1/2 stotinki from Bulgaria.

    Exactly like this one above:
    it's Copper-Nickel coin

    it has a value of $2 for F
    $6 VF
    $15 XF
    $ 36UNC

    This is my first bulgarian coin!
