Any help is appreciated, thank you. I don't know if I've scanned them upside down or sideways, I can turn the images if needed. Also, the coin is extremely small.

doug3333 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 8:32 pm Persia, India, etc., take your pick. These are almost impossible for the average American collector to attribute. You can sit down with a 19th Century Krause-Mishler catalog and leaf through, page by page, looking for the type. Not worth my time, I have about a dozen "unknowns" and they'll stay that way.

ScarletDrew New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 06/12/2012 9:01 pm Hello, thanks for your reply. I don't have a sensitive enough scale to weigh it; however, it measures 1.11125 cm. (7/16 in) Quite small. Report this Post to the Staff
