Rare Arabic Historical Coin- $150000 -the-most-expensive-islamic-coin/

“Coin collecting and coin study almost doesn’t exist in this part of the world. To the uninitiated, distinguishing between these two near-identical gold coins  is rather like a very upmarket game of spot-the-difference.a closer inspection reveals an important  that Not by damage but by design.The coins speak of more than a change in currency and leadership.  We now understand that the changes associated with the Arab invasions were permanent, but for people  living at the time, the only certainty was change, and this modified solidus, as well as many of the  other gold and silver Islamic coins that can be auctioned in Geneva later on demand, testify to the  sense of transition that defined the spread and early development of Islam. “We have tried to present the whole Islamic history since the time of the Prophet through coins in a very  pedagogical way,” the 60-year-old explains. “And we’ve already been getting a lot of positive responses from...

"Sets" of 1964 coins, including special strikes of the cent through half dollar, first began appearing in Stack's sales in the early 1990s. It is believed that most of those sets came from New York coin dealer Lester Merkin. The 1964 SMS Kennedy half dollar is struck on a 90% silver planchet, from a single pair of dies, showing much sharper detail than the regular issue and having a satiny surface texture. We...

10 US Rare Quarter Dollars Value

The quarter (short for "quarter dollar") is a U.S. coin with a denomination worth 25 cents, or 1/4 of a U.S. dollar. Formally it is known as a "quarter dollar."

Individual coins minted explicitly for coin collectors can consist of the copper-nickel alloy or a distinctive combination of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper.
