    My son picked these 3 coins out of a world coin bin at the Baltimore show today. I know nothing about them. I am thinking they are Middle Eastern or something along those lines. I was hoping someone here could ID them or at least the general area they are from. Thanks!

    The first has an inscription in Kufic Arabic and could easily be 1000 years old.
    The second looks Indian and very old but I don't recognize it.
    The third is in Arabic and looks Indian (or north of there in Afghanistan or Central Asia) from the 1800s.

    The last one is a silver Persian shahi coin.
    Here's a similar coin :
