<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 4038277, member: 91609&quot;][USER=87271]@AnYangMan[/USER], I really like your 2 acquisitions...they have &quot;The Look&quot;!&nbsp; I love coins like that...you can imagine the trade they have seen.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That said, this is really out of my bailiwick; while I do have a few Islamic coins buried in my world coin section, they were acquired with other coins &amp; I have them just to have them. </p><p><br /></p><p>OK, so your concern is about the 2nd coin &amp; the possible disparity between what you want it to be versus what it may be.&nbsp; The Album opinion is what you would like it to be, &amp; that was about a decade ago (circa 2010), while the coin hammered 2 yrs later, in 2012, for more than you paid.&nbsp; This may suggest that the previous owner came to the conclusion that it was not the imitation &amp; decided to unload it.&nbsp; Then apparently after 8 years in limbo, it resurfaces in your hands at a significantly less cost. And then subsequently, another expert suggests it is not the imitation you want it to be, &amp; you have not, so far, been able to rectify this dilemma.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, I would wait a day or 2, until CT experts/responders have a chance to view it &amp; comment.&nbsp; I would think you will get some excellent replies &amp; advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as keeping it <i>if it&#039;s not what you want it to be</i>, only you can answer that question.&nbsp; I treat my collection the same as I do much of my stock portfolio, I &quot;dollar cost average&quot;; I know sometimes I will pay a little more, and sometimes I pay a little less.&nbsp; If I worry about each transaction on its own, it will drive me nuts.</p><p>But it&#039;s still a very nice specimen!</p><p><br /></p><p>So, even if it turns out not to be what you want it to be, if you didn&#039;t grossly overpay, it still has &quot;The Look&quot;!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck &amp; I too look forward to responses &amp; your final decision. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
