18davidsone Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I bought a grab bag of 50 coins from Amazon and in it came two coins in Arabic that have just eluded me for the past two months. I have been searching so much and I can't seem to find out what country this coin is from. Will somebody please help me? Thank you in advance. The coin with the building on it is from 2000, and the other coin is from 2005. Sorry that it is not a very good image. I will try to describe them to you as best I can. Both of them have a backwards crescent moon with a star. On the top, there is something in Arabic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabnoles Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I am curious as to how often you order from Amazon for coins? I generally don't like ordering grab bags of stuff w/o at least seeing what is in the bag. The blind purchases I usually make are for junk silver coins but I know from experience of having sold things on Amazon that they automatically add $3+ in shipping for an item, which would make these coins more expensive than the ebay route. I would like to know if there is an effective way of buying coins off Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18davidsone Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I don't order coins that much off of Amazon, maybe 2-3 times a year. There isn't an efficient way to buy off of Amazon, they will probably add the shipping fee on. Do you know of any other ways/websites that sell coins?

HarveyJMartha Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yup it’s a Pakistan 2 rupee coin with “Islamic Republic of Pakistan” inscribed on it. It’s made from an alloy of brass and aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
