silverdollar2011 Valued Member United States 385 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 6:43 pm hey guys, I spotted this coin in a lot of world coins that I found while searching ebay, it seems to be of Middle Eastern origin due to the script on the reverse of this coin but could also be Netherlands East Indies. What is it exactly and would it be worth it if I buy the whole lot for just that coin? Thanks for your help. Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
