JBL Valued Member United Kingdom 289 Posts	Posted 09/26/2012 4:24 pm I realised this coin was a bit odd, an Egyptian 1917 Five Milliemes coin in really nice condition but with no hole at the center. It had the circular mark but the 'plug' is still intact. Have I found a real gem or is this quite common ? Will post a picture later. Cheers Brian. Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 5:02 pm Certainly not common, I would expect up to $100 at the right venue. Report this Post to the Staff
JBL Valued Member United Kingdom 289 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 6:54 pm That is all very pleasing, thanks. Numismat, I have to ask " What is the right venue ?" Are we talking ebay or a specialist coin auction ? Selling the coin will raise funds to extend my Victorian collection. Cheers Brian. Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 09/28/2012 03:31 am ebay would be the right venue if you market it right (mostly meaning good pictures), but having a history of selling coins also helps a lot. A specialist may pay even more than that, the question is time. Auction is a quick sale, specialist will most likely take a while. Report this Post to the Staff

desslok New Member Israel 6 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 11:44 am I see that someone bumped a thread which is almost a year old. Is this coin still available for sale? I'd be a buyer for the right price. My interest is Israeli error coins, but these coins actually circulated and were used as legal tender in Israel in their day, before the British minted the Palestine coins of 1927-1947. It could be an interesting side addition. Report this Post to the Staff
