Howdy everyone! I joined up hoping to find fellow Moroccan coin enthusiasts. I'm a small scale ebay seller who lives in Portland, Oregon. I've got the French guidebook for Moroccan coins and a halfway decent collection with a lot of ESSAI marked coins. But I've never had a single person to talk to about them! I also need some help identifying four possible forgeries in my collection. Looking forward to chatting with y'all! |

 to the Forum! I like Moroccan francs, but have just a handful that I've picked up over the years - I don't specialize in them. |

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good thread with possible Moroccan coin enthusiasts to start out in? Also, I'm curious if you have a place for people to help spot fakes. A few months ago, I got ripped off big time on ebay. But I knew instantly, disputed it, and got my money back. I have a feeling it's happened again, but possibly from a source that doesn't know any better. I'm hoping to have some additional sets of eyes look over some coins before I start accusing collectors of anything. |

I also like Moroccan coins, but only have just a handful (7) that I've picked up over the years. Start a Thread for Moroccan coins here: World Coins and Commemoratives http://goccf.com/f/7life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

I don't collect coins but banknotes so wish I could be more helpful. I have visited Morocco (Chefchaouen & Tangiers in 2004) & loved both the country & its people. So, I do want to collect some of the nation's banknotes some day (just 1 of many nations I've yet to collect). But for a reference I would be checking some of the websites out there & really getting to know the minute details of each coin before I made any purchases (spent a cent). On other forums I have seen a lot of posts on super realistic forgeries (made in China). I hate trying to get refunds so I err on the side of caution (& check sellers' feedback plus cross reference all items I want to buy). One site that I heard about a lot of fake world coins is Numista. Below is their link on Moroccan coins: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/maroc-1.html |

Thank you very much for the information. I also collect French Moroccan banknotes! I have a respectable collection, but certain bills get expensive fast.
I'm a relatively well informed Moroccan coin collector, even owning the French tome about the coins of Morocco. But I've never had a single person to bounce anything off, just stuck in my own little bubble.
Quick Question before I venture out into the forums - I see the size limit here is 300kb. Do you use an image hosting service to link high definition images?

Not that I'm aware of, but when you post images there is a built in program (Free Image Optimizer) that you can use to reduce the image to a forum acceptable size. I don't have any hi-def images so I just make sure all my images are under the 300 KB limit before I post so I don't have any problems. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
