JGpenny Valued Member Canada 153 Posts	Posted 05/14/2020 5:08 pm Hello I have an interesting coin which I believe is from Afghanistan. I cannot find much online. 1. What is the area/country of manufacture? 2. What is the denomination? 3. What is the grade? 4. What is the value/price? Thanks so much for the help friends! Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/14/2020 7:27 pm I have an approximate idea what it may be. 1. What is the approximate diameter? 2. What is the approximate thickness? 3. What it is the weight? Grade is VF (British grading) Report this Post to the Staff

JGpenny Valued Member Canada 153 Posts	Posted 05/16/2020 12:29 pm Nice thanks so much. I really appreciate it. Any insight into the price or rarity. Unfortunately I had to part with my numismatic library during a recent move (not by choice). Report this Post to the Staff
andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1324 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 04:19 am It's quite a nice one - so a few dollars, perhaps almost reaching double figures. As ever with these, they are only worth what someone else is willing to pay. Report this Post to the Staff
JGpenny Valued Member Canada 153 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 1:20 pm Just to be clear you are saying this is approx a $10 coin? Thanks again for the input guys. I figured it would be worth more as it is pretty uncommon but I guess if there is no demand... Report this Post to the Staff
