Wow what a cool story @lordmarcovan ! I encourage everyone to read that linked thread. Kudos to you for reuniting that family with a piece of...
Haha, that’s what this thread is for! Some of those little coins that don’t deserve a whole thread. If you have some you’re curious about post them!
Looks like a nice coin @Ed Snible ! As for grade, I’m clueless on these so let’s wait for an Ottoman specialist or dabbler to happen along this...
Another mini-mystery but I thought these may deserve their own thread. I've had these two Ottoman akces for years. They're small at only 11mm or...
