Here are the threads of some of my coins that I've posted already. I'm linking to them for the history and information I've written down: https://goccf.com/t/228812 https://goccf.com/t/188593 https://goccf.com/t/193725 There is another member that I know is big on collecting Islamic. I'll see if I can get in touch with him and get him to post his coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 01:01 am chrsmat, in case you don't know, your first coin is a dirham from the Almohad Caliphate in the 12th-13th century. I posted a similar coin in worse condition and it was identified by Athalbert. https://goccf.com/t/229992 Mine is a lot clearer in hand. Sorry for the poor phone pics.
