Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 6:43 pm What I'm asking for is a bit of help in locating online resources for these three representative coins. I have many more to ID, Thanks to Finn and Justinokay! I am just started branching out into this broad field. I don;t have the bucks to afford a massive library and really don't know exactly which area I'll land mostly in yet. So if you kind folks can direct me with some links I would greatly appreciate that. Sites that have pix examples would be great! Thanks all! #1 Know it is Arabic writing, that's it. Unsure of the differences between Ottoman and earlier. #2 Have seen these listed...somewhere Indo-something? 3) This I Know is a Camp Gate, but is it always Constantine the Great? Have seen different gates. Report this Post to the Staff

Butch, for coppers that seem to fit the general area, my "go-to" is Valentine's Modern Copper Coins of the Muhammadan States. I have the pdf on my PC, but it's available online too. It's a pain to flip through the book in search of something - just based on visuals - but it's paid off a number of times for me. See #134 on pp. 24-25 for your #2...it's from Turkey: https://archive.org/stream/modernco.../24/mode/2up Report this Post to the Staff

I recognize that you aren't looking to buy a bunch of books, but "Arabic Coins and How to Read Them" by Richard Plante is a $20 purchase that is worth its weight in, well, dinars.
