Bestjet Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 9:31 pm Here we go again Another set for ya`ll. Oh, and sorry for the lighting on some of these. These first 2 are from Japan. They are 1942 and "33" respectively and were in with his Korean stuff. Many of the Korean are multiples. Then the Turkey and Canadian were also separate singles. Report this Post to the Staff

Bestjet Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 11:04 pm Dang Hondo, great catch, thank you. I have updated my numista. Don't know what gave me the 33. Once I went back and saw the pi looking letter was all it took. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25594 Posts	Posted 05/30/2025 12:32 am You're welcome, Bestjet - glad to help out. Japanese, Chinese, and Islamic coins are relatively easy to date compared to those from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Israel - they give me fits.

Bestjet Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 8:32 pm Ok Hondo. These dates were all easy. Either a "52" or "65". Seemed to be no other choice. These are the Lybian coins. Also multiples of all of these. Not sure when/how he got the "52's". We were there from 62- 66 so the 65 I understand that. But have fun with these. Thanks everyone. img]uploaded/bestjet/20250531_s20250530_0009.jpg img]uploaded/bestjet/20250531_s20250530_0017.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25594 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 9:34 pm Very nice Libyan coins! Yes, they are all either 1952 or 1965. All of the coins minted by Idris I have those dates. I imagine that the "1952" coins were continuosly minted into the 1960s without a change of date.

Bestjet Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 11:11 pm Hmmm. You really make me research my stuff more Hondo, thanks for that. Now I have read up a little, the Idris coins have an interesting history and were around even after Gadaffi took over. Funny. He Had to look at idris coins for a while. Unfortunately I have very little memories of my time there as I was 2-6 years old. Report this Post to the Staff
