Of course, the hole reduces the value to only slightly more than the intrinsic metal value. I'm mostly trying to find out if it's got any metal...
Around $30 sounds reasonable. The color seems a bit off to me (there are *lots* of these being counterfeited right now) but if the weight &...

It almost looks like an S/S error, but I don't see anything like that listed in the Redbook. If they could screw something up during the war, they...

I found an excellent online resource that shows various Ottoman mint marks:...
On the first coin - I see the reign year 6 on the back (an Arabic 5 + 1). And is the Islambul mint mark the one that starts with what looks like a...
