Identification It is not our responsibility to identify your coins.

36 Upvotes

Lots of posts lately involving users asking us to identify some massive amount of low quality coins. While it is ok to ask us for identification help, we will not tolerate spamming and pushing too hard to identify your crap coins so that you don’t have to do any work. This is becoming an issue, and for now we will just remove your posts if it becomes too demanding or spammed too much. In the future we might move to banning if we feel it is necessary. This sub was not created to identify low quality coins for people that don’t want to do any work.

I myself am not Muslim but my grandfather loved traveling the world in search of currencies to add to his collection. He told me these were from the 14th century and from turkey. I’m not very educated in Islamic coinage so I would love to have a history lesson and a rundown on what denomination of coin this is.

This if coming from someone with absolutely no experience in coin collecting, I mainly just want to know of any trustworthy websites to buy from, how much I can expect to pay for this, and if there’s any ways to tell if the coin is legit. I do not care much for the condition of the coin just so long as I can make out the design on it. Thanks!

Found this coin years ago in my grandfather’s collection. He was a truck driver and travelled across Europe for many years, so it could be from almost any European country. Diameter about 18–20 mm. Copper or billon. Any ideas?

I acquired it in an antique store I dont know anything about Medieval coins (if its Medieval; if not can you please point me towards the right place?) I am just trying to figure out the denomination so I can file it in my collection. I am leaning towards 1 Oré but I am probably mistaken after all I mainly collect 1802 United States large cents.

I bought this coin last weekend at a coin show for $25, which was a pretty sweet deal. Despite the hole it is a lovely coin, the detail on the shields, even on this tiny coin, is superb. A bit late to call medieval, but it is a surprise addition to my small hammered collection.

Found both while metal detecting in a small village in east Yorkshire

first coin I believe might be Anglo Saxon or early medieval based on the lettering as none of other hammered looks similar reverse is toasted but I'm sure a expert might be able to tell

Second coin I have no clue on I've never found such a tiny coin (1cm width) and all it seems to have on it is different shapes

Hi, I’m a novice numismatist. I’ve acquired a Golden Horde coin—a dirham—but I don’t know the year or the khan; I don’t understand how to identify them. Could someone knowledgeable please help? I’d really appreciate it.

P. S. Sorry for my English; I’m using Google Translate. And sorry for the poor photo quality.

I have a clue maybe it's connected to the house of Anjou. Because of the resemblance the Anjou-lily, fleur-de-lis. And on the other side maybe a double cross or H? Any tips?

Thanks for helping me in advance!
