DagonX Valued Member Poland 392 Posts	Posted 12/08/2012 3:14 pm Hello! Few days ago I bought a little coin with some Arabic letters. On the auction photo was really poor so I wasn't able to identify the coin - I have only some hunch. Today the letter with coin finally has arrived. Weight: 0.55 g Diameter: 9,5-10 mm In my opinion, after a better look, he coin was minted by one of the emirs of Sind. It looks very similar to the second one from my collection (unfortunately pics was deleted long ago): http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=42994 Am I right? Is this a coin from Emirate of Sind? If yes - who minted it, which emir? Thanks for help! DagonX Edited by DagonX 12/09/2012 05:41 am Report this Post to the Staff

I did want to say that I think the pix you included in your thread are well done. What type of camera, lens, settings and equipment (like flash or other lighting, bellows, copy stand, etc--if any) did you use? As an entry-level player in numismatic photography, I'm going to be seriously disillusioned if you tell me you just slapped that coin into your "all-in-one" fax/printer/copier/scanner and scanned it...
