Re: Need help identifying this coin
I know where you can get help if you can't find it here . World coins are a specialty.

Re: Need help identifying this coin
I have looked for hours and can't find anything, some of it is cutoff so makes it a little more difficult to figure it out

Re: Need help identifying this coin
There are people over at coincommunityforum.com who likely could help. They are a huge community with many experts. I learned from them when I re-entered the hobby in 2011. CCF is a family friendly forum, we call ourselves a family, and I really have a lot of good friends over there.
So why am I here, and why do I enjoy THIS forum so much?
Daniel's presence in the hobby, to me, has been a milestone for numismatics in that now we have an excellent teacher using a youtube channel for teaching. There are a lot of people out there who don't want to take the time to read, but will watch a video. Daniel has filled this necessary niche for the coin hobby and done it VERY well.
Add to that Daniel is as honest as the day is long (just how many other people do you know, running a business, who outright tell you their buying and selling prices?) and its a no brainer for me.
But since we don't yet have 90,642 users on this forum, sometimes when we don't answers for specific areas like ancients and foreign, CCF can help.
