Team, Was hoping sone of you could take a look at this little (dime size) piece I pulled from some of my culls. After a little brushing I was surprised at the detail which emerged. The first thing which sprang to mind was a 1200ish dirham from egypt. Not sure why??? My darn electronic scale is busted too All I get is Errr, even after I changed the batteries... Take Care B
Bone, I don't know if it's a mamluk dirham but it looks quite similar,except for the big horizontal lines.However,there are examples of these type of lines...where you might ask? I was amazed when I went to Google and typed it in ....there are over 11 pages of dirhams to look at..some with lines...check it out! http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=mamluk dirham&btnG=Google+Search&sa=N&tab=wi by the way,I think you obverse photo is upside down.
Thanks Guys (Andrey, Mikj0), I'll check both when I get a chance. You wouldn't believe it if I told you but (LIGHTENING does strike twice. I'm in town (Rapid City, 54 mile drive) at the public library after a storm took out our phone & internet sevice for the 2nd time in 1 month. 20 years go buy and nothing happens then ZOWIEE... I'm just glad I can access some ovf my business (TDAmeritrade) stuff. Lots of sights I frequent are blocked Coincommunity, FORVM, etc.) I think it's something to do with their chat function... Take Care Bone
