That's great! What sort of era are/were they issued?
A friend has asked me to sell this on Ebay for him, but I don't know how to describe it! My best guess is Chinese Imperial, but that is as far as...
Yes - appears to be Ethiopia 25 cents, KM# 36. I can't read the writing but they appear to be a single issue dated 1936 on their calendar, which...
In case anyone is interested, I sent this picture on to Numista as they didn't have one before and it is now uploaded at:...

Well I have now submitted pictures to Numista. Not sure I will do NGC - the grade is not great for the serious slab collectors!
Well here is a really surprising rarity. At a local auction I had my arm twisted into buying a jar of old coins for £3 as no one else was bidding,...
I picked this up amongst a batch of older coins. As far as I can work out it is from the Franlin Mint and bears a signature "E R Grove" 1967. It...
Yes - a brilliant treatise on Penny varieties with excellent photos at: https://headsntails14.wordpress.com/
... and this one just arrived today. 1882H penny with obverse 12 and slightly scarcer reverse M. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
