What is the difference between: Egypt km321 20 Piastres (1916-1917) & Egypt km322 20 Piastres (1917) Aren't they the same???

@ EgCollector, Yes!Very Nice Deal: $22
I feel it's a cleaned coin.

The one you are asking for;

KM#322 20 PIASTRES

Composition: 28.0000 g., 0.8330 Silver .7499 oz. ASW

321 vs. 322

Thanks for your permission, HAGOP!
Please send me a personal note with your name if you'd like me to credit the photos to you, or I can put "Image provided by HAGOP at CoinTalk.com", whichever you prefer. As for #321 vs. #322, the catalog says #322 does not have an inner circle on either side. I guess that's the ridge just inside the beads.

 

Very nice deal, Krause 33rd edition state $35 for XF.

I am not an expert, but IMO it is cleaned but yet a very nice coin and an excellent deal. :thumb:

 

Thank you about the informations,I have never noticed about this "inner cirlce" variety.
Your coin has much lower mintage of mine.I'm surprised,both they have the same value.
I turned all around the city to find that coin in cheap price & in my like,it was an XF coin!
I was going to pay the same for the same coin in VF condition.
Other dealers ask 30-35$ for VG condition here...
I paid a value of a 10 Piastres

@DonNorris
I'm very glad you are using my coin's photo as a very good example of 20 Piastres
It would be better if you edit as "Image provided by Hagop Kazazian at CoinTalk.com", but it's OK if you don't.
Thank you for explaining about KM-322,Does anybody knows where on the coin is located the mintmark H?

 

I have paid $30 for my coin which is a very good price for such a grade.
I have bought three 10 piastres coins with that one, I paid $20 for the three. I also bought two 5 piastres, and i paid $4 for both.

I bought several coins at this day from the same dealer and all at very good prices, It was a great deal.

 

You will find it between the two dates (1335-1917)

 

Good, You made very good deal also for 10 Piastres,here 10 piastres dealers sell around 10-15$..
5 Piastres? Malik Farouk?very nice deal!!
I had bought 2.5 piastres,the octagone coin for $3.5
Malik Farouk's bronze Milliet coins are selling for $2 here...

 

No, 5 piastres Sultan Hussien Kamil, KM# 318.1
AH 1335-1916 and AH 1335-1917

 

Same prices here, thats why i consider myself lucky with this purchase.

 

My new 10 Piastres 1916. 16.6 Not a very good deal.
I say VF~XF

 

A beautiful coin, i would say a minimum of VF+

 

The leaves have slight wear, thats why i said VF+
