123heather321 New Member United Kingdom 13 Posts	Posted 05/04/2008 1:39 pm I found these two coins in my great grandfathers collections a few months ago, I've done some research but can't find anything similar anywhere. Any info or ideas would be a great help and much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/04/2008 1:59 pm Well...Sap is leagues ahead of me on world coins. I'm just good for US IHC and Canadian die varieties, lol. Still...you're going to confuse responses with multiple posts. Now it looks as if my Hejira date research (on another post) was deleted. I'll let someone else do it now...

Silver Gorilla Valued Member 286 Posts	Posted 05/04/2008 2:55 pm Well back to the drawing Bord, lol..... Hay by the way Kurts can you check out the copper ottoman coin on Ottoman Libyan coins... I think I should remove them and make a new thread for the Ottoman Libyan coppers ? Report this Post to the Staff
