echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/02/2010 10:04 am This is a 20 Piastres coin from Egypt, KM# 368 dated AH1356 (1937), 28 grams and .833 silver. A little stained but very nice detail, I would grade it at AU-55 with a value of about $75.00. Very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

MINT_MARQ Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 09/02/2010 10:18 am Thanks for the info, I am forwarding it on. Bad part is.....I didn't even win the 2 cent pieces they were selling. Someone here probably stole it from my grasp while I was sleeping. It closed after 11pm EST. Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 09/02/2010 1:52 pm It's nice to see that I've learned enough on this forum to post matching info to echizento's. Note, however, that I stayed away from grading and evaluation. I know my limits! Report this Post to the Staff
MINT_MARQ Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 09/04/2010 10:41 am I sent him echizento's response...He listed it on ebay with an opening bid of $50. Not sure if either of you collect these, but if it is worth $75...you might be able to get a good deal on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
