Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 05:30 am That looks to be a Islamic coin. I can't vouch as to it's authenticity or attributes. Sorry. I also have a Islamic coin that is a Ummayed fills. Islamic coins are difficult to attribute. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 08:15 am I agree that the coin is Islamic and possibly from the Ottoman Empire. But I know virually nothing about Islamic coins so I am sorry I can't be of more assistance. With your unclean coins, you might want to take before and after photos to document your progress. Post your images so we can see what you have and give our opinions if you want them. Again, welcome. Regards, Report this Post to the Staff

I took it on the instagram app on my phone so it's not the best. I look forward to seeing what comes of them. Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 08:47 am I would suggest you search this forum for posts about uncleaned lots and cleaning encrusted coins. That should answer some of your questions. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 11:49 am Regarding your first coin--one side looks like Devanagari script, while the other side could be Urdu. Most likely the coin is from the Indian subcontinent, where hammered coins were produced until recently. You might post it to the world coin ID section.
