LMc New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/27/2018 11:49 am Slowly reading through this book, "The coins of Haidar Ali#772; and Ti#772;pu#772; Sulta#772;n" available for free on the net. My eyes keep rolling back in my head after page 80. I contacted a seller on ebay with a similar coin, he pointed me right here, says that you all are THE experts. I have had this for about 50 years. I defer to your knowledge. Thank you for your time I am betting near 276 (1217). 273 M (1200) has the reverse as far as I can tell These are from the book. I hope this makes sense to the people that know how to read wannabe numismatist: 15 M - Nope 98 M - Nope 101 M - Nope, no flag that I can see 112 M - no 113 M - no 105 M - Nope, date and reverse does not match at all 122 M - Nope, date/reverse 164 - (1198) no 195 - no 195 - no 196 - no 197 - no 198 - no, mine has a date or something 224 - no, thinking this is going off track now. Not sure what coin this is as a base. It is not AE? What is AE? Al: Aluminum As: Arsenic Ag: Silver Au: Gold At: Astatine Ac: Actinium Am: Americium 228 - no 258 - mine has a date 259 - no 273 M - (1200) Reverse is almost dead on for this. Face date does not match for me Im going blind 274 M - (1216) - Having only seen this one, might be it 280 - Why is the elephant's tail depressed? Is it sad? 290 - Maybe on the date, reverse does not match 315 M - Reverse not matching 316 M - (1216) - The date does have that circle character, reverse looks closer than not 317, 318, 319 - no, mine has date with a circle character 372 and friends up to 376, nope 382 - no 387 - no 389 M - If I had to pick one, this is the date so far 390 - reverse no match 429 M - (1218) reverse looks plausible. face does not have a depressed tail 430, 431, 432 (1216) - no 438 - no My brain hurts, help please lol * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

LMc New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/28/2018 7:36 pm Yep, that's it and thank you for the bookmark! I need to run now. I'm thinking of buying that other one for no reason. I've owned my coin for 50 years and I can feel the sickness again. You know, holding old coins while reading history of the time it was in circulation, what was on sale back then, oh boy. I carry a silver certificate for conversations about the federal reserve. Gotta go before I figure out what pay services icollector takes... I haven't purchased a red or blue book in ages if that's still a thing. Thank you again! Report this Post to the Staff
LMc New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/29/2018 11:43 pm Ok, it's me again. I am going to bid on that. I was wondering what the group opinion is on the color vs mine and whether $60 is then ok. I valued mine at $40, although I will never sell it. I suspect that the coin is real enough or it would have been mentioned here. Thanks again. Thinking of collecting colonial coins and paper too. Report this Post to the Staff

Mr. Album's firm is among the world leaders in Islamic and Indian coins. https://db.stevealbum.com/php/lot_a...=1497&lang=1 Edited by Kushanshah 12/30/2018 04:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
