I need a kind soul with a Krause World Coins 1800's book to help with 5 coins from a lot I just bought from Coll3cter...(I only have the 1900's book  )
What I need is:
KM#
Weight
Fineness
ASW
Yrs Minted (From that KM# only)
Coins:
-1882 Newfoundland 50 Cents
-1874 Denmark 10 Ore
-1853 US Half Dime
-1885 Swiss 20 Rappen (I'm sure this is Ni, but not 100% sure in the 19th century)...
-???? Arabic coin (See link below-1st coin 3rd row) Almost positive it's Egyptian, but the 1900's book doesn't show the exact coin, so I'm thinking it's slightly older.
You must be logged in to see this link.
Thanks a bunch for any help!

Wow guys that was fast!
uthminsta- may camera is terrible for macro shots...I 'll wait and see if anyone else weighs in, then get a friend to shoot the coin later if need be.
Thanks again! |

No just a camera with a macro setting that doesn't take macro shots!
I believe it's an Egyptian Qirsh from the late 1800's... |

| Okay, yeah. What is the diameter? It looks like the date is (AH)1327 which means 1909. |

Uthminsta...You're the man! The 1909 date was a big help...after a little more digging, It's a 1909 Turkish 2 Kurush....0.8300 fine.
Mystery solved...I really thought it was Egyptian...
Thanks for your help! (and Bluegill too...) |
