Wow, looked like summer when I was up. By the way, I'm sure the coin store I got these from is the one you mentioned as being a big mess. It...
I was in Canada last week and stopped by a coin store to get the 125th anniversary of Confederation series. While there I picked up some other...
Its a 10 pyas from Burma (Myanmar), dated 1952.
swhuck is correct that it is from Saudi Arabia, 1 girsh, except the date is AH 1356.
Not quite. F stands for the initial of the chief assayer. The mintmark is below the R, which is an aqueduct (Segovia mint).
Thanks everyone for having a look and commenting. I've always thought that a rainbow tone around the periphery of a coin was indicative of the...
I like the silver 1/4 rupee. The date does appear to be 1316, the 6 is only barely on the flan. I don't see a date on the dub, but I know...

Yes, that's probably the best Costa Rica counterstamp I've seen on a cob. I remember when you posted that thread, and I remember seeing the coin...
I have to agree that the TOTW was a strong incentive to write up a noteworthy post. There have been threads posted this year that I wish I could...
Those are some great coins, really like the toner, and good explanation of the distinct series. I was not aware of the lightning bolt privy mark...
Nice example. My closest counterstamp is one from Guatemala (1840), which uses the sun-and-volcano symbolism, before Guatemala developed their...
