BigMACK New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 5:13 pm I have been holding on to these coins since I was a kid. I had actually forgot about them. Does anyone here recognize these coins? I'd like to have a little history on them. Image: newcoin.jpg 5.79 KB Edited by Sap 03/04/2009 03:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 5:41 pm Wow those really ARE little. Could you maybe put up a little bigger picture so some of us half-blind people can see it better? (Although, Sap is usually very good at figuring these out..). And to the forums, too.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 5:44 pm I suspect the coin on the right is a Zanzibar Pysa from the 19th century, but as Xshift said--bigger pics would be nice. Welcome here! Report this Post to the Staff

QuickSilver Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1077 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 5:54 pm I will need a bigger picture to give you much info. It looks like a copper coin from the Bombay Presidency of British India, East India Company. I can't make out the year though. possibly around 1830. A quarter or half Anna, or even a Pice. Do you have a larger picture? Report this Post to the Staff

BigMACK New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 9:31 pm Sorry about the small pic guys, I need to get a better camera with more pixels. I am working on it. And yes, the coins are the same. Showing both sides using each coin. Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 9:47 pm Looks to be a 1 Pie coin from British India during the Bombay Presidency. What is the date on the coin so I can determine exactly which one it is. Edit: Ok almost 100% certain it's a 1 Pie from 1830. I can barely read out 1246 on the coin. No mintage numbers but Krause has it priced between $0.25-$2.00 (G-VF) KM#230 2.1600g. Copper 18mm Report this Post to the Staff
