Sap Moderator Australia 16844 Posts	Posted 09/06/2016 5:58 pm Sorry, but we're not going to be able to tell much from those small pictures. 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

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 6:38 pm This was a tough one, but I found it. Is an 8 gram coin from Afghanistan minted in AH1339. It is listed in Krause as KM #952. I would caution you that they only minted 200 pieces, so it is more likely that yours is either counterfeit, or perhaps one of the re-strikes. The re-strikes weigh about 4 grams.

Sap Moderator Australia 16844 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 03:30 am OK, the pics are better, but not quite good enough to see the spot I'm most interested in. This spot seems to have some odd markings that aren't there on genuine coins: I suspect they may be Middle-eastern jewellers marks, used to indicate the fineness of replica gold coins. Making fake gold coins is legal in Dubai, so long as they use real gold and indicate the true gold fineness of the fake, on the fake. 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
