<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jdarne01, post: 1634541, member: 44361&quot;]<b>Hello - new member jdarne01 here seeking help from experienced members in this field.&nbsp; A collector of U.S. coins/currency primarily for nearly 50 yrs., recently acquired a small collection of &quot;mainly&quot; Canadian and British coins from the mid-1800&#039;s and early 1900&#039;s but also a few from Russia, Spain,France, Luxembourg, and Newfoundland, but also a couple I have no clue on because they don&#039;t bear dates, crowns, head of states, or any other identifier I&#039;m familiar with.&nbsp; After reviewing Krause World Coin catalogs, the &quot;closest&quot; I can guess on the one &quot;Arabic-looking&quot; crude hammered coin sort of resembles (to me) some I&#039;ve reviewed in the Indian Princely States section.&nbsp; The coin appears to be made of either copper or bronze, is &quot;about the size&quot; of a U.S. nickle, only thicker in crude hammered form.&nbsp; I&#039;m surmising that since the collection was primarily made up of British and Canadian coins, this one I can&#039;t identify may be of Indian heritage, when it was ruled by the Briitish.&nbsp; The other mystery coin (may be gold) as it is yellowish in color, is &quot;about the size of&quot; a U.S. trime, is quite thin, worn almost smooth with no marks on one side, with undistinguishable small marks on the other nearly worn smooth, with a weight of 1.6 grams.&nbsp; Any assistance in helping me identify these 2 coins would be greatly appreciated.&nbsp; Also, I don&#039;t know how to send pics.....&nbsp; Thanks to all.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
