<p>[QUOTE=&quot;UTC, post: 935850, member: 26203&quot;]<b>Please Help: Mounted Ancient Silver Coin - ID? Restoration?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Hi,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bought this silver coin from an old guy who used to travel a lot. I want to have a silversmith restore it, but I am not able to figure out where this coin is from, and what year it is.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coin is 30mm in diameter. Weight: I&#039;m not sure, because of the big mounts. With the mounts it weighs about 16 grams.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Could anybody ID this coin? Thanks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And, is it even worth saving? If yes, I will need to ID it, find a detailed picture of a good one, try to have the mounts removed and probably get the welded spots repaired so it looks like new, if possible.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Suggestions will be appreciated.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr297/HYTerry/Coins/unidentifiedmounted01Medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr297/HYTerry/Coins/unidentifiedmounted02Medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
