My cousin has come upon some old coins and wants me to identify them. I'm not having any luck so, maybe some of y'all could help. Scans of them are below:
Deer Coin:
Coin x-1:
Coin x-2:
Coin x-3:
Coin x-4:
Coin x-5:
Coin x-6:
The Deer Coin and x-1 appear to be copper or bronze. I believe 2 through 5 are silver and x-6-- Who knows?
In the hope some of y'all can give me info on these coins, I thank you in advance and am
Most sincerely yours,
Danny

Quote: lastoftheleesYeah, I though Mideast, Afghanistan or India but so far I have found nothing in the Numista coin listings that matched them. Thanks anyway,

None are Indian, that much I can tell you.
Rest you need to find a good catalog and look for them. Best of luck!
