svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 12/20/2010 5:59 pm OK, see them! First two are Greek, when it was a kingdom. 10 drachmes and 50 lepta (1/2 drachma). Both are Cu-Ni. The third is aluminum 5 millemes AH 1387 (1967) from Egypt. Edited by svslav 12/20/2010 5:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 12/20/2010 6:35 pm Sorry, my mistake! The third coin is 5 pistres, not millemes; the date stands, though! And it is also Cu-Ni. Report this Post to the Staff
TenSense Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 12/20/2010 8:30 pm Dude you are awesome! I really appreciate it. What happened was my dad was in the Navy in the 60's and he gave me a bunch of his stuff; but I am lost on a lot of it. These coins correspond to a few of his stops when he was on the LSD Spiegel Grove, so that is just cool as heck. I can hold these coins and put myself right back to where he was. I'll treasure these.
