[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4034387, member: 85693"]Welcome to Coin Talk. eBay can be a dangerous place, but over the past few months I have gotten some early Islamic fals for cheap in lots there - usually when I was going for a Byzantine or a countermark, but the Islamic coins came with the lot. Although I wasn't aiming for them particularly, as it turns out, I have had quite a lot of fun trying to attribute them - but it is not easy. Here's a batch I got recently, and they came out to about a buck apiece. I think they are genuine. Most of them are Umayyad (or so I've convinced myself). [ATTACH=full]1059657[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
