Good Day Gentlemen, and to any Ladies who might happen by. I have been collecting and dealing with ancient bronzes for some years now. Mostly I am a
conservator interested in obtaining and correctly preserving metal-detector finds. Over the last 8 years or so I have collected and conserved 60 or 70
Medieval Islamic coins that I would surely appreciate some
help with. My books all deal with
Roman, Greek, and
Byzantine coinages, and my experience in the main is
Byzantine. I will gladly reciprocate with information from my expertise, and have already attempted to do so here at the
byzantine section of the
discussion board. I will post a couple coins of the
islamic variety today and see what the response is. As the situation stands now, I am nearly 100% ignorant concerning these
Islamic issues and their varieties. I should
hope my training will happen through these discussions, and by reading older posts here, as time proceeds. I will at last be able to
search out the correct reference books, at the very least! If this practice I am attempting is acceptable, to discuss and gain identity of these coins, that would be wonderful. Conversely, if this practice is unacceptable, please advise. Thank you for your time and attention. Yours Truly in
Numismatics, Bill Gallagher. The
scale is mm.
