I Need A ID On This Very Old Unique Silver Coin Pls

This, and the dead giveaway is the extra material rising up around the rims on one side of each coin. 100% cast in a mold.

Um, did either of you guys actually look closely at the genuine coins in the links which allranger posted? They both show these exact same features: porosity, and the squeezed-out rim. Those are side-effects of how these coins are made, not signs of counterfeiting.

First off, here's exactly what you've got: they both appear to be 5 kurush coins - in which case, they should be about 41mm across. The 2½ kurush coin has almost exactly the same design, but the rims aren't quite as wide and the coin is only 35mm across. The top one in both sets of pictures (the one with the large triangular piece missing out of it) is dated accession 1223, regnal year 8; the bottom one is dated 1223 regnal 5. This is written 1223//8 and 1223//5 in the catalogues. These dates convert to AD 1815 and 1812. Here is the Krause catalogue data, as transcribed into the NGC database. As you can see, the Year 8 coin is slightly more valuable, though yours will not be because of the missing piece. The 2½ kurush coin is scarcer and more valuable.

Finally, the question of authenticity. They appear to be real to me, though as others have said, they can make fakes of anything in the Middle East. Since 1983, the law in Turkey has stated that anything older than 1923 is considered an antiquity, and cannot be bought, sold or exported without a license. On the other hand, making selling and exporting fake antiquities is perfectly legal. Your "coin dealer", if he was selling genuine coins to tourists and operating legally, should have given you a piece of paper explaining to both you and the Turkish Customs agents that these coins (a) are genuine antiquities and (b) are permitted to leave the country. If that didn't happen, then your coins either (a) are fake, or (b) were illegally smuggled out of Turkey.

Interesting stuff bacchus and sap, thanks for clearing that up.

the thing that gets me is that, why would they make a copy for touris that is made out of silver?
The Greek coins copy that I bought when I was a kid in the tourist place( Rhodos,Castle) were made out of steel.,is it worth for them to make them out of silver?

I found them on ebay for around $250 and they claim thaf they are rare!
What is a best place to sell a coin like this?
I will sell it and buy bullion round with that money

I wouldn't sell it!

This coin's value comes from its scarcity and desirability, so even if silver drops its price will not be too affected. Meanwhile, silver hasn't been doing much of anything lately and I wouldn't expect bullion rounds to appreciate much. If you are looking to preserve your wealth, just hang onto this one...

I believe I only repost this topic twice, and the reason for that is because when I delete the photos from Photobucket , it also deleted the photos on the thread.
when I try to fix it, it did not let me, so I deleted my previous thread and made a new one.
And no I am NOT a bot :) I am a human in Flash with feelings, and you broke my feelings lol
