I see, so they changed their system of dating in the 20th century? That is confusing. Krause lists earlier coins as AH 1319 being 1901, but now...
Yes, but it is listed in Krause as Turchia.
The year on the Iranian coin is 1901. (Islamic year 1319).
I'm pretty sure the first one is from Turkey and the year is 1896. The year on one side is 1293 in Islamic. The other side says year 22 of the...
Thanks!
Can someone help me find the denomination of this French coin? It is from 1643, is about the size of a U.S. 1 cent, and is copper.
Do you honestly think there will be a time when currency collapses and people are paying at the stores with obsolete silver currency? If somehow,...
Apparently this coin is from Martinique. I don't have books with me, but it could be a really nice find. Earlier coins from Caribbean islands are...
I'd look under French Indochina/Vietnam, but I don't know if that's what it is. The strange thing is that French francs of this era were silver,...
I hate when people use four staples. I like to write across the top and the fourth staple gets in the way. Three is fine. And I don't understand...
I'm pretty sure that one is silver but I don't have any references with me right now.
That doesn't look like any French franc I've ever seen. I'm wondering if it's either from one of the French colonies or some kind of token?
In my opinion the "don't touch" rule applies to a totally different type of coins than you generally find in value bins. Most value bin coins have...
While it is true that it is difficult or impossible to determine the true worth of something, all I need to know for my purposes is how much it...
Maybe so. What happens though is when I see coins in the $5 bin that I know are worth far less, it makes me question my judgment when I see a coin...
It's always satisfying when I put in a maximum bid of like $20 and the auction ends for around $2, because I really feel like I got it for a...
I can't remember the exact details offhand, but there's a variety of the 1955 Mexican 5 centavo that is worth $55 in F according to Krause. I...
I feel like if the coins are $5 it's hard to call them junk.
Do you ever kind of get mad when you look through value bins because some of the coins in them are priced way above their value? I do. I was just...
Realistically the Indian and Ceylon coins are the only ones worth anything. Even in really good shape there's not much of a market for modern...
