january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 10/09/2025 6:32 pm I bought this coin at a flea market in Haifa - my first major numismatic acquisition in Israel (I've bought some coins here before, but only cheap common ones). I paid 50 NIS (about $15). I estimate that this coin (if real) is roughly in VF condition, which (again, if it's real) would make it worth >10x what I paid. Is that plausible? I don't see anything off, but I'm hardly an expert on SLQ semikey dates. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 10/09/2025 8:03 pm Looks good. What are the weight and diameter of the coin? Do you have access to a method like xrf to determine the coin's composition? IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
