Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 06:25 am This coin was shown to me by an old man in my village. One of his carers found it in a drawer. Can you identify and grade it, please ? It's copper, its diameter is 17mm to 18mm and it weighs 5.96g. My apologies if the images are the wrong way up. Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 5:33 pm Thank you; the old man was delighted, even though he had thought it was about 1,000 years old ! While I was there, I noticed 2 coins hiding below the chest, one was a British India rupee dated 1862, the other I know not what - I'll post it soon. I don't see Indian native coins very often, but it would be nice to be able to identify them. Is there a website that you would recommend, please ? Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2884 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 5:52 pm Zeno.ru is the most comprehensive oriental coin database out there. It won't give you values or anything - but it will help narrow down the exact identification http://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=861 My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 7:06 pm Bacchus2, Trouble with zeno.ru is that it's not user friendly, and other than looking at pictures, I can't see how to use it. Report this Post to the Staff
