and thank u JKK. Glad ya'll don't charge tuition, I'd have to go get a student loan. 

Some toning is considered attractive; some isn't. I think very few people would pay US$0.26 for that coin because grey/black toning doesn't generally get a premium. Of course, you are not bound by anyone else's notion of attractiveness. Mainly I answered the thread just to offer you some vocabulary expansion on how we normally term that phenomenon.

Not in any way US collectors would validate. That validation is determined in the main by what people will pay premiums for, and few if any collectors will pay premiums for what I call blinded mint marks (it may interest you that I got this concept from Arabic calligraphy, in which the letter mim may be "blinded" in some medial and final cases, but not in others).

No, but grading criteria for most grades include expectations for the rim. For example, I think the threshold for EF insists that there can be no rim dings, even minor ones. These aren't minor, though, and the distinction is between normal wear (however pervasive) and damage. When one can no longer see the rims due to wear (as on your reverse), they are said to be not full.
Look at the wide bumps at the spots that jgrinz pointed out, as if the coin was dropped hard on its edge in those spots. On the obverse, see what might be two gouges at 9:00; that also is not normal wear, but damage.

Another person who posts good photos, asks a clear question, gets an answer, and believes it! We're on a roll!
In case you wonder, I'm not making fun of you. We get that rarely enough and we truly appreciate it. Please keep collecting and posting and learning.

True, but you must also admit that you have rather frost-prone cookies to begin with, all over matters beyond your ability to influence and within your ability to avoid. As for me, I long ago started hiding the posts of anyone I found to be a dip*spoon*, a bridge-under-dweller, or who otherwise just declined to get it. Life's short.

I told you what to do next.

The existing pics are good enough. Pretty sure you mean 17 mm, which is enough to guide me to the denomination. Give me a bit to do some research.
Don't get your hopes into the clouds on value--it's probably an antoninianus, a very common billon (minimally precious) denomination of the 200s CE, and most issues of emperors who minted a lot of coins sell for $10-12 in this denomination. Welcome to ancient numismatics, a field where the learning is inexhaustible.

No need for cussing, Bob.
Nice piece. The color is beautiful and much detail survives. Strike centering could be better and make this easier, but we get what we get.
I'll look into it if you can give me weight and diameter (g and mm). It shouldn't be too difficult because the radiate (that's the ancients nerd term for the open bear trap on his head; as opposed to diademed, for example) bust is limited to a certain era; plus, most importantly, there are either tails or some other thing behind his head. Those are not common in that shape (usually seen as extensions of a pearl diadem). Bust is cuirassed; not sure if draped, but I think perhaps not.
He has a beard, which rules out a) most emperors, and b) all the Augustae (being women; plus, instead of a cuirass and crown, the Augustae typically have flapper cuts that stand out like neon signs). Bob might be right about Felicitas; not sure, but more importantly the reverse type is very clear with plenty of detail remaining. More importantly for ID purposes, the reverse has nothing in the exergue (that's another ancients nerd term for the area below her feet; where is usually found mint mark info on these types). Challenging but doable given that we get at least some obverse and reverse legend, sharp and clear, to go with the odd hair tails and lack of ex.

In order to request a grade for any coin we must have photos of both sides. People could also better help you if you were to identify the date and denomination. I can see that it's a Pahlavi era Iranian coin of some amount of riyals, but without the date and denomination, I can't go looking for comparisons.

A coin determined to be cleaned typically gets a grade like: AU Details, Cleaned. (Or Whizzed, Damaged, whatever applies.) If you know the coin to have been mechanically cleaned, you can just about guaranteed that it will receive a Details grade if it receives any grade at all. The services are rather good at spotting cleaning evidence.
The reason I hoped for a full attribution was so that I could do some searching. Unfortunately, I believe that the denomination is written out, and I don't know the names of the numerals in Farsi. I believe that date is SH 1352, which was 1973 CE; the last Shah, Muhammad Reza. Since I can't look up the exact coin, I can't go looking for comparative examples to find out what it's supposed to look like. Good luck.

I don't know what it is, but I have to say that the idea of interpreting it as having to do with the Julian calendar is a thoroughly loopy one. It might be productive to try and remain closer to logical probability and rational possibility, starting by asking: why would anyone make a token of this sort for reasons related to the Julian calendar? What benefit could that bring anyone?
The 1 C seems to me to offer a much more promising theory: a company token, perhaps. The typeface looks 1800s or early 1900s. Lots of Western towns had company stores and in some cases change shortages, and paid employees in company store credit. There's probably a good catalog of those and there are probably great online references with pics, and this one looks to have a unique design. As for the JC 668, once you find out what the concentric circle thing and 1 C on the other side mean, you'll probably find out what the JC part might mean. One key to searching catalogues, besides plenty of coffee and time and patience, is to pick a very identifiable detail and hunt hard for that, blow off anything that doesn't have that particular detail.

Congratulations. You just set yourself apart from a good percentage of new arrivals simply by posting both sides of the coin, then believing what people told you based on what they saw. If you hang around here (and I hope you do), you will learn that this is nothing we take for granted. It's a lot easier to help people who aren't so predisposed to a previous conclusion that they reject the evident reality. Nicely handled.

Did they tell you what their pronouns were?

I wonder how many authentic examples have "currency" misspelled. Though given the country of origin, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if we began our coinage journey with a nice little burst of semi-literacy.

...wonder why the OP hasn't answered my question yet. 
I mean, gee wiz, he knows more about this than I. Just trying to learn from him...

Some sort of token making reference to Philip. Since we get only one side, and no weight or diameter, I can't say much more than that. I wouldn't bank on it being gold.

Dies are not "cut". They are pressed into a master hub. They used to do this more than once, and if it was slightly offset, created doubled or tripled working dies. It varies by denomination, but by 1999, all US coinage dies were produced using single-squeeze hubbing. Doubled and tripled dies in the traditional sense simply cannot happen after 1999 on any US coin. Similarly, they stopped punching mint marks into dies around 1994, so RPMs don't happen anymore either. Since 1999, there are cases where the hub "skips" a little bit while settling into the die, causing what people still call a "doubled die", but it's not really the same thing, and it mostly happens near the center of the coin. You would be wise to read this https://www.doubleddie.com/58201.html as well as other sources. Claiming you have a "triple die" on a state quarter, well, it just can't happen. What you are seeing is probably a combination of worn die and some MD.

Thank you sir I will do as you have described..I have just never seen on such coins and I have servel different dates..
TO BE CONTINUED 

B.C. with respect ,every letter on coin looks triple, nothing else is butt little on nose and the eye,,just wondering, I got a few states quarters, my question  is this would be a common  occurence, because I do search diligently and never seen such coins until I started looking at the state quarters this past month..thanks again

Gilbert, I am not as knowing as you seem to be on such things and I have a question or two.
I have read and been told by several coin experts that United States coin dies are pressed once by the hub. Not several times like in the past. Because of only being struck once by the hub there is no more true doubling or tripling. What we see as and call doubling, as in double ears on Lincoln cents and extra fingers on the reverse of 2009 cents, are caused by the hub slipping against the die blank as it is slightly higher in the center to help facilitate better detail impression.
So my question to you is... How does one explain tripling of all the lettering on a coin if the die is only struck once by the hub and the planchet is struck once by the die?

Well, Gentlemen, I guess our secret is out in the open now and we have been exposed. 
Your are correct, Gilbert. Almost everyone on this chat board is actually a secret agent who is working for the government to help insure that  poor guys like you can never get ahead. We dedicate our lives to keeping new collectors in the dark and disseminating disinformation whenever possible. We have sworn an oath to call every coin that is posted on here "junk," "damaged," or "common," in order to dissuade anyone from trying to search for the countless millions of extremely valuable coins that are just waiting to be found in every person's pocket change. Our hope is that only a select few, specially chosen collectors will ever become wealthy, and that everyone else will continue to be oppressed and downtrodden. We take every opportunity to give dishonest or misleading answers to questions about valuable error coins and varieties that everyone knows are worth thousands of dollars, because we do not want these coins to remain in the hands of commoners.
You have truly saved the world by exposing us and our corrupt practices. I salute you.

But do those dumb *spoon*holes ever listen? Nooooooo!
JustBob, obviously I'm supposed to turn you in for betraying the Deep Board, but as I am having a weak day, I'll just request that you please watch it in the future. It can be just between us; no one will ever know.

Thanks for the reminder.  I need to turn in my paperwork with the Overseer regarding my overtime for last week.  There were a few guys down at the coin-o-laundromat who had found a couple of the planchet error quarters and were taking pics.  I quickly interjected myself into the conversation with the whole "parking lot" coin ruse and traded them some shiny new quarters for them.  It was a close call and I shouldn't have even been there but Gary on the east side of town hadn't had a chance to remove all the silver from the bill changer so I had to fill in.  All in a day's work but I'm still getting that OT pay regardless.
Anybody know if we're going to discuss the IRS plans for all these strawman accounts we've been creating lately?  I think we've got plenty but if we say there's been immigration changes we could probably generate 50k more SSN's a day.
