Identification and valuation request guidelines

The Numista forum has a section dedicated to requests for identifications and valuations through which any member can ask for help from other members of the site.

In order to facilitate requests and maintain a certain order within this section of the forum, any request for identification or valuation must respect the following directives:

1. Requests for identifications or valuations must be published on the dedicated forum “Coin identifications and valuations”, “Banknote identifications and valuations” or “Exonumia identifications and valuations”.
2. Each request should be done through a new thread.
3. Put an explicit title like “Ancient Coin - Roman?”, “Elizabeth silver coin”, etc. Do not use generic terms such as “Help!”, “Coin”, “Identification”, etc.
4. In the content of your message, describe the subject and include any information you have:
   • Specify the weight, the dimensions and, if known, the composition.
   • Indicate what you can read in the item.
   • Describe the drawing as well as any information that might be helpful.
5. Attach a clear photo of sufficient size of each side of the item.

When an identification is obtained, click on the “Solved” button at the top of the thread. Then click on the “Edit” icon (icon with a pencil) of your original message to modify the title with the identification obtained. Again, keep a brief title such as “Roman Denarius Hadrian and Libertas”, “5 pounds UK 1996”, etc.

And, welcome to Numista!

It appears to be an increasing trend in posts recently that people are only concerned how much their coins are worth, they are worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them and in that condition that would be very little. 

Yes, one can't ever be wrong with a tautological reply.

Only one side of both coins shown which seems to  be a regular thing on this board, I have a clue for one of the coins but won't bother

Hello,

Let's be kind toward newcomers. There is no point in replying if you are not willing to help.

@blackghost, could you please post pictures of the other side of the coin and provide the size and weight? It would help us providing a meaningful reply.

The sun on the first coin looks similar to the sun on some coins from Iran, for example N#48533 You may want to search further in this direction.
