... Whenever somebody puts a coin on the table at the Bridge Club you check it out for date and type, ... When all your friends save any new...
Not much to add to what has already been said. I buy and sell world coins all the time, and researching each one is part of the fun, and often...
Have you got a copy of Krause? I am looking at page 712 of my 2009 edition, and the Egyptian 1917 2 Piastre is there under KM# 317.1 and 317.2 -...
Based on this size it is Egypt and a 2 piastre coin from the British Occupation period around 1916/1917 - Krause 317.1 or 317.2. Without clearer...
4th coin will probably be Turkey or Egypt - more likely the former. Date of 1223 would fit well with Mahmud II, but I must admit it looks more...
3rd coin I am fairly sure reads "Republic of Macedonia". A quick look in Krause confirms it as a 50 Deni from 1993, brass and worth around 10...
Well I don't think the first coin is KM 306 - if it were the accession date would read 1327, but I am pretty sure it reads 1293 - which is KM 299....
OK - I know I have posted pictures of this one before, but I think it is my favourite overall. If there was a fire and I had time to get just one...
Not really my speciality - but I can tell you how to date. If you look at the OP first picture, and turn it the other way up, the accession date...
Hi Paddy, You are right! And thanks for the buddy invite just accepted. I noticed your handle a few days ago and wondered if we could have much...
Thanks a million for that Windchild - that is definitely what I have. As Doug points out, down to rather too many details to be comfortable with...
Thanks for that Ripley. The reverse seems to show a palm tree with a bird standing underneath - although it may be an eagle it looks more like a...
These are the "last of the best" from the auction lots on Tuesday. Still hoping someone will ID the Greek looking one from post #31 in this...
A couple of goodies: 1. I bought a job lot of foreign mixed at a car boot sale, for once genuinely unsorted. Among other gems in the lot - a...
I certainly agree with that Doug - the only redeeming feature was all the lots came from a collector recently deceased. (I know the auctioneer...
Sadly the pics have gone from the auction website now the auction is over. It was a Denarius with bust of Pompey the Great on obverse, and Neptune...
Yes - I was very pleased with those two. I ended up buying five lots in all - I have sorted through 3 now. Some junk, some very nice. Still not...
These two I think I have sorted - just sharing for the joy of it! M Fannius - 123BC M Cipius - 115/114 BC [ATTACH]
Thanks Bing for the ID on the Roman. The other coin is 23mm at its widest and weighs 6.9 gms.
