  1. The top coin is a Spanish 2 or 4 Maravedis piece of Philipp III. (see similar ones in my Spain database) The coin in the middle is a Roman bronze Antoninianus of emperor Claudius II, Aequitas reverse. Regards
  2. Hello and welcome! Once i got a few Bengal Sultanate coins - quite exotic material. regards
  3. Hello and welcome! The history behind the coins often is more interesting than their sales value.
  4. Hello and welcome! I can help translating. regards
  5. To me the Britisch Emperors Allectus (no. 16) and Carausius (nos. 24, 27 & 28) are the interesting ones as they are scarce here on the continental European market. regards
  6. Maybe only a modern fantasy cast. What´s the reverse depiction?
  7. Yes, these porous surfaces missing any sharp details cry out "I´m a cast repro". In contrast to others i think these repros are not completely worth- or ueseless as they may inspire peole to get more info about the coins and the era. And often a nice repro is the inly affordable alternative.
  8. Sometimes message board users disappear without a trace (maybe only the NSA knows what happened). Glad you are back, alive and hopefully well.
  9. One of my favourite sites to get info about the coins and medals of the era around 1800 is back!
  10. Correct, there is a value number ٢۰ (20) below tughra.
  11. Just my humble opinion: A coin´s grade is only determined by me and it is not the most important value concerning my hobby. That means a coin is as desirable as i think and there are many more important criteria to me to buy or keep a coin. I will never understand why a collector should be dependent on a grading service or by a coin in those plastic "coin-coffins". Think this grading circus is first of all for the investors world. Why must you collect American coins? There are cheaper and more interesting areas in your neighborhood with much more historical background. If you get in contact to the local antiquities scene or metal detectors you may legally get some of their dirty coins for cheap. With some experience you will be able to clean them one day and get a fine collection of currency from the last centuries in your district.
  12. Probably this - if size and weight is comparable: Egypt, Ottoman empire, Sultan Muhammad V (AH 1327-1332 / 1909-1914 AD.), Heaton mint (H, Birmingham, England), dated AH 1327 plus regnal year 2 = 1910 AD., 10 Qirsh (33 mm / 13,73 g), 0.833 silver, 14,00 g mint weight, mintage 300.000 , medal alignment ↑↑ (0°), reeded edge, Obv.: ۱۰ .... , Arabic value number 10 plus denomination and wreath below tughra (or signature of the sultan), rose to r., 7 stars above; mintmark H at the base. Rev.: ٢ / ... / ١٣٢٧ , regnal year 2 above country name and year AH 1327, all in wreath, 3 stars above. KM 309 .
  13. Hello and welcome. But a published rarity can´t be a bargain anymore. So i would prefer a website like "undiscovered-genuine-rarities.com" - visible only to me.
