[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7774074, member: 85693"]Recently I find myself drawn to older Indian coins. Unfortunately, I can hardly tell which side is right side-up on these. And I can't read them either. But I still like them. From eBay I bought a lot of 12 dump-type coppers, mostly in the dam/paisa size-range (20 grams or so - at under $2 each I thought this would be a good "educational" lot for me). After a lot of work, I managed to figure out 7 of them. A couple of them are so worn that they are blank. But here are four decent ones that have me stumped. 9.35 grams, 18 mm: [ATTACH=full]1333399[/ATTACH] 10.79 grams, 18 mm: [ATTACH=full]1333400[/ATTACH] 19.94 grams, 20 mm - I feel I should be able to get this one - Akbar from Narnol? I just can't find a reasonable visual match, so I'm stumped: [ATTACH=full]1333401[/ATTACH] 13.78 grams, 19 mm - not much left of this one: [ATTACH=full]1333405[/ATTACH] Apologies in advance for any upside-down photos and obverse/reverse confusion! :shame: Any help much appreciated. Here's the whole lot (seller threw in an extra!): [ATTACH=full]1333402[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
