712 Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 10:42 pm Hello, does anyone recognize this coin, I believe it's from Egypt but I have not been able to find it anywhere. I was not able to include the reverse, it seems not to allow more than one image. Thanks for your help in advance, Ed Report this Post to the Staff

They've been around at least since the early 1900s, as noted by the example for sale in a 1905 Sears & Roebuck catalogue. But they're not actually ancient. Quote: I was not able to include the reverse, it seems not to allow more than one image. Yes, it does. You can either click the "Upload another file" link after you upload the first one, or you can simply click the "upload image" link again. 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
712 Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 08/28/2011 12:36 am Thanks Sap for the info on the coin, I just happen to have a 1908 Sears & Roebuck Catalogue that still needs to be looked at, I'll see if it appears in mine too. I did something wrong on trying to upload the second picture because when I clicked the upload links no browse box came up. I have something else to put on later and I'll try again on that one, Ed Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16859 Posts	Posted 08/28/2011 03:29 am Ah. I think they've had problems with file uploads over the past few hours with the server upgrade; that may have been the problem. 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
