Hi,
I have a Belgium coin that I would like to put on my site. I have identified it as a Belgium KM# 153.1 25 CENTIMES. I know its a very common coin with little value but I want to display it anyway.
I like to include the text written on the coin with its description. There is some text on the reverse side below the large B. It looks like T. L. MAILI + two symbols.
Does someone know what is written below the B? I would appreciate the help.
See photos.
Joe K.

Hi,
I have a KM# 10 10 FILS, 1955 (AH1374) coin from Jordan. The kp 2008 book says the weight should be 5.9g but coin actually weighs 9.96g. Also the book says the diameter should be 25mm when the coins actual diameter is 28mm.
I don't have another coin to compare it with. Could it be a piefort? Or is the book wrong? (I checked a 2005 kp SCOFWC book and the coin pictured measured 28mm. My newer 2008 books' picture measures 25mm.
All help will be appreciated.
Joe

Hi, Hope someone can identify this coin.
It is an old coin made from copper or bronze I think. I weights 7.8g, 20.7mm diameter and 3.4mm thick. The surface shows tiny spots of a copper-ish color but the rest for the coin is coated in a thick/hard/shiny green coat.
The size is not quite round and looks like it was a 9-sided coin at one time. I found the coin in a collection I bought from a local coin dealer.
Thanks,
Joe

| Silver Or Copper-Nickel? | Isle Of Man Crown

I have a coin from Isle of Man. It looks like a silver coin but there is a Copper-Nickel coin in the same series. Krauses' "KM# 81a CROWN" is silver and "KM# 81 CROWN" is Copper-Nickel.
Both coins measure 38.5mm diameter per the book and the one I have is 38.5mm. The weight of the silver coin is given as 28.2800g. but the weight of the Copper-Nickel isn't given. The my scale says the coin weight is 28.5mm plus or minus 0.1g.
The difference between the book weight 28.2800 and my scale's reading is only 0.1 to 0.2 grams. Is this enough difference to say the coin is not silver? Is there a way I can determine if a coin is silver without measuring?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the help
The edge is reeded with some letters stamped in it but I can't read them. Is the legend enough to tell its a 117.1? If so, then I really don't need to know what the edge says to determine the KM #?
I am still lost on the Position A and Position B distinction. Can you explain the difference?
