Hi. I recently inherited someone's collection with some ~300 coins. I've identified all of them except these last 8, for which I ask for your help!
I'm quite a noob at this, so I'm kind of stuck and any bit of help is greatly appreciated. Anyway, here they are:
1. This one is from Egypt. I has “1255” in arabic on the bottom, and the denomination is 20. It looks like this “10 Para” coin (like N#7377), so it should be “20 Para”… but I don't find anything similar on Numista. How do I check the world coin catalog?
2. This one looks like a Chinese “cash”, but again, I can't really find one that matches in Numista. This is the closest I've found: N#224268
3. The face on this one looks like the model of a Morgan dollar? It also says “liberty” on the crown. The date appears to be 1818, but I didn't find anything that could match. Looks kind of like this one? N#124033
4. There's a shield of some sort, with stars and stripes. Can't tell what the letters spell out…
5. Some arabic? Or, is it actually arabic? I'm not sure.
6. Weird-looking face. Letters say.. “britte”?
7. This is next to impossible and probably not even worth the trouble.. There's an ear in there (lol) and some letters that I can't make out.
8. I see a little silhouetto of a man… lol
OK well, hopefully that's interesting to someone. Thanks!
