Coming right up. Here's one I know I haven't posted anywhere before, because I just bought it from the dealer this afternoon...  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

That's a nice coin xshift. I'm going to have to find myself one. For the next one I'll show only one side of the coin. I'm pretty sure all the info needed to identify it is there.  |

Sap hit the nail on the head! Afghan coins from the early 20th century were often stuck poorly from over-used dies. I suspect that is why there is a lot of detail missing on this coin that has very little wear.
I'm eager to see what Sap has in store for the next round...
