floppybelly Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hallosh, I've just become your friendly neighborhood floppybelly. I inherited my grandmother's coin collection, and there are some pretty interesting ones in there. There's one in particular that's been bugging me, it has no writing on it. I've been looking online for a program to help identify it, like a flowchart or something, but haven't found any. So I came here and I'm hoping you guys can help me out! I don't have a scan of the coin itself yet, but it's silver and very lightweight, almost as though it's made of tin. It's not round, but more decagon-ish or whatever. (I haven't actually counted the sides...) On one side it has a line drawing of a swami-guy's head, on the other side, a line drawing of what looks like the Taj Mahal. No dates, no letters, no nothing. Anyway, it's very nice to meet you all, and I hope to have a good time showing this coin and the rest of my new collection to you.

NumisMattic2200 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 "Hallosh, I've just become your friendly neighborhood floppybelly. ...." Can I nominate this for the Coin Collectors Quote of the Year 2007?!! I'm sure someone will be able to identify your coin when you have uploaded a photo of it. And nice to meet you to!

floppybelly Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks so much, guys. Here's a couple pictures of that one coin, on the right, and a couple others that piqued my interest. The left one is an Israeli phone token from twelve years ago! Oh, and sorry the Spanish one is upside down, it's flipped funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Welcome! I think your mystery piece is probably an arcade token. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumisMattic2200 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 The middle one is very common, a modern, just pre-Euro 25 pesetas of Spain, the one on the right doesn't strike me as a coin at all as there's no numbers, even in Arabic form..the other one seems to have a trough in the middle on one side? The antelope thingy is interesting... it's not a telephone token is it? Soon soneone will tell us, i am sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floppybelly Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 The left one is an Israeli phone token from twelve years ago! And yes, it does have a trough on one side. As for the mystery, I'm sad that it's nothing important, but not really surprised. Thanks anyway, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the mystery, I'm sad that it's nothing important, but not really surprised. Thanks anyway, guys! Did you, by any chance, ever find out if it was an arcade token or where it was from? I have the same one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
