Ottoman Turkey, 5 kurush, dated AH 1293 Year 32 (which actually converts to 1906 AD). Mintage 3.3 million, .830 fine silver, .16 ounces ASW, KM# 737. If you're wondering, it's about the size of a quarter. Sadly, Year 32 is the commonest and least valuable date; CV (2006 ed.) $5 in VF. If it was just about any other date, $14 would've been a bargain for it. 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 Report this Post to the Staff

I'd be annoyed if I was searching ebay for, say, crusader coins, only to have coins like this come up from this guy because of those words in his description. Personally, I'd avoid bidding on auctions like that, on principle.

MrGlass44 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 10/19/2009 12:01 pm I also got this one. It's an older ottoman coin but it has a hole drilled in it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWNX:IT Report this Post to the Staff
Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 10/20/2009 12:48 am the older ottoman coin also looks quite nice, but the seller puts the weight at 1.9gram for a silver 20mm diameter coin. One of the two is false. Sort of places a small question mark on the seller on how he describes his coins? Report this Post to the Staff
