Excellent! The coin is from the three brothers Kay-Kaus II, Qilich Arslan IV, Kay-Qubadh II, 647 Sivas...
Not necessarily silly, sometimes one's instincts are correct... Still, if the first coin is Buyid, there's no real reason it should look like the...
Nope, the photos are still playing the same staying-small trick! Maybe you should ask in the chat section and get someone to help? Meanwhile, I...
This picture is clearer, but again very small. But I don't think it will help to make this one larger, although I think someone who is more expert...
Hello. Very nice coin. It does look Seljuk. The photo is much clearer, but it is now too small for me to read, and I can't seem to enlarge it...
It is certainly a very pretty coin. Unfortunately, I don't know much about prices, others here would know better. Since you have so many old and...
double post--sorry!
The first one, which I believe is a Buyid coin (as posted in the other thread) you might be able to locate in Luke Treadwell's Buyid Coinage if a...
Here is a photo of a Shah Abbas II coin (yours is nicer) whose inscriptions are similar.
Mukremin, if I squint hard I can convince myself I see (Shah) Abbas II on the reverse of your 2nd coin (third photo). Would be much easier if you...
Great suggestion Imo :). I was intruiged when I read about it, since it lowers your commission, especially on small amounts, but I never tried it....
yes, third coin appears to be a Mongol coin of Uljaitu (1304-1316/703-716). The Shi'ite kalima is on the obverse (with 'Ali wali Allah) on last...
Your 3rd coin mentions 'Ali so not likely Ghaznavid :). Looks Mongol, maybe Uljaitu during his Shi'ite phase? I will go check now.
Hi Mukremin, I am just looking at your coins now. The reverse has the name of the caliph al-Ta'i (363-381/974-991) as posted above. The obverse...
It's been an interesting week in the gold conspiracy world :bigeyes:. Le Metropole has been flooding my e-mail with updates. For a contrary point...
I am no coin expert! Just one who enjoys Islamic inscriptions and coins. Especially pre-modern ones. But I will take a look, and in the meanwhile,...
Thanks, these photographs are much clearer :). The caliph on the reverse of the first coin appears to be al-Ta'i (974-991). He was one of the...
If you aren't happy with how this dealer resolves things, at least you have some nice coins :). You might try Provident metals. I have read here...
If you could post better pics (photographed straight on) of the two Abbasid coins, I might be able to help you with the inscriptions. Wonderful...
I've bought from them, and the quality was good. But it was a while ago, and afterwards, I couldn't figure out what they charged for shipping,...
