Are there any mint marks that I should check for? Or were these all made at the same location? Also, what is the composition?
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 &...
How expensive is it to separate copper and zinc in the smelting process?
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...
Isn't 24k 100%? So, 22k would be 91.667% (not a big difference, but certainly significant on a larger medal or coin).

Thanks! Okay, I used that info as a starting point & tried ID'ing the next 8: 9) Para, Dated 1122, with Constantinople mint mark.
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...
May I ask how you determined those dates and mintmarks? I'm hoping to learn from these 8 how to identify the rest.
I'm not as familiar with this series as I could be & was wondering if I've ID'ed this coin correctly. The date is odd - the first 3 digits are...
