<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gunslinger12, post: 1128866, member: 29826&quot;]Hello all, First let me say there is a huge amount of knowledge on these boards. Thank you for that. My son likes to collect coins and we have gleaned a lot of information on here just lurking and reading. </p><p><br /></p><p>I decided to register because I have a question about a coin we came across. From what I have gathered it is a 1980 Gold 100 Dinars Iraq, honoring the Battle of Gadissyyat. It is marked on the coin as a 22 Kt. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my problem. I have taken it to several &quot;dealers&quot; and each one has given me a different answer. One had told me it was a lead fake plated in gold, another has told me it was only 20 KT gold and said it was worth scrap. One said it was nothing more than a bronze junk piece from the middle East. </p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone give me information on this? It&#039;s history, composition and worth?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Forgive me, but the picture below are from the one and only website where i have found the coin, and it is exactly what I have. </p><p><img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/f1d1e8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/33m3a4i.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
