    I think that it's a Moroccan 2 or 4 falus. The symbol in your first picture is the seal of Solomon. The Islamic date of 1288 converts to 1871 in the Gregorian calendar.

    Ya i thought that but i magnified it now i have my doubt look at the close-up.

    I can't find any logical explanation to classify this as a 'mint error'. It might well have been the case that the original die was worn at the last digit and or it might have been a weak strike at that spot, in which case the coin even as new might have had a particularly weak last digit to begin with. With natural wear and tear (which this coin has had plenty of) the remainder of the digit might well have worn away. It wouldn't have been that unusual to see a weak image on parts of a coin like that. I really can't think of any other explanation other than someone having had a go at it...

    Hi Lads,

    I'm looking to get a coin collection that was left to me valued with the option of selling. I'm looking for input from three posters in particular on this thread. There's over 1,000 in total, mostly Irish and English. Here's a few photos. The one's in the brown bags are only a small selection as there are between 50 and 60 of these in total.

    Thanks,
    Dave.

    Dave you won't get a proper valuation on this thread if that's what you're thinking? A proper valuation would involve inspecting each and every coin either in hand or by much clearer pictures than you have provided. As there's over 1,000 of them it's not practical to do that here and no one will inspect them in person and give you a valuation unless there's a good chance of them buying them at a low price. It's too time consuming for anyone to give you an accurate free valuation.

    Your only options are to bring them to a few different dealers and let them make you an offer on the lot. There'll be a coin fair on in Feb, that might be a good place to start. Another option would be to list them all on ebay in separate lots with clear photos, this way you'll get top prices but it's also very time consuming. Or you could put them into a normal auction like the Dublin coin auction which I think the next one will be due around the same time as the coin fair.

    One of the 3 posters I wanted a reply from , thanks for taking the time with the detailed post it was very helpful. I have decided to sell them as coins are not really my thing and just wanted input from someone whos not going to rip me off. You mentioned Andrew Auld in Wicklow in one post and was wondering if hes worth trying.

    Thanks again

    Andrew is dead sound but so are a few of the other dealers you could talk to at the coin fair. But as experienced dealers they'll be fair with you but won't give you the kind of money you could get selling them on ebay. Also keep in mind that while you do have some nice sets in your collection, you also have a lot of what a collector or dealer would call "junk", coins that are plentiful and not in demand. Dealers might not want to touch these at all. You could always dispose of junk on the likes of Adverts in lots.

    Are you sure that's not Britannia on the other side, I don't know of any Irish (Hibernia) coins or tokens from 1865.

    Anyway if you're in Dublin there's a couple of coin dealers in the Georges St. Arcade.

    Or maybe 1765, as George III was long gone by 1865!

    Ya but not 1765, Jaysus lads how did we get from 1865 to 1766! :)

    Anyway, God knows, yous could be right, we'll only know if roberthatfield posts a pic. As he says he has a lot of coins he should just bring them somewhere to get them checked out. If not in Dublin I'm sure someone could advise him on his nearest dealer.

    He said George III who died in 1820 so it can't be 1865.

    Could be 1805 ha'penny....

    Might be - only change a single digit and the 6 and 0 are vaguely alike!

    I'd say that's exactly what it is alright, was only thinking that after I logged off. It's a very common coin and the digits are often worn so quite possible they misread it.

    I have an old Korean coin which I believe to be from the King Ingo and Yi Dynasty. It could be a 1625-40 AD coin but I can't be sure. I have absolutely no intention of selling it but it would be interesting to value it. It's probably worth very little but I'd like to find out more. Is there anywhere I could go?

    You should find everything you need on www.irishcoinage.com

    Unfortunately, I don't think there were any Irish coins minted with those dates, so you will be left with gaps unless you stick in e.g. UK coins.

    irishcoinage.com is a good site with info. on Irish coins.

    as akeady said no Irish coins for those dates but if you want to get substitutes e.g UK, American or some other country try ebay.ie
