<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Poetheraven1, post: 1621082, member: 27225&quot;]I find that one of the most difficult coins to date are the Israeli coins.&nbsp; Not only are there many variations of the same or similar coin, but several of the Hebrew numbers closely resemble one another, making it extremely difficult to make a determination.&nbsp; I thought I had found a site that made it really easy to convert these dates at <a href="http://www.collectionstudio.com/en/datescalculator/hebrew/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectionstudio.com/en/datescalculator/hebrew/" rel="nofollow">http://www.collectionstudio.com/en/datescalculator/hebrew/</a>, but after using the converter a few times, I discovered that it was giving me wrong gregorian dates.&nbsp; Unfortunately they made no provision for &quot; that is part of the date on the coins, and I still can&#039;t figure out what the difference is between the apostophy and the other accent? mark.&nbsp; Anyway, I wonder if anyone who collects Israeli coins has a simple converter, or method for converting the Hebrew dates to Gregorian.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been using the charts in the Kraus Catalog of World Coins, but find that I am making a lot of mistakes using it as well.&nbsp; The Hebrew and Arabic numbers are the most difficult for me to read, even moreso than the Japanese and Chinese dates, which is really pretty straight forward.&nbsp; Anyone care to comment on this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
