Need Help with an old Bronze/Copper Coin

Postby TheJonasCollegeFund » Thu May 17, 2012 6:00 pm

Another older coin I have in my collection. It's a tad bigger than a penny. Bronze or copper. Check the pics....don't know which is the front or reverse.

It looks like a moroccan coin.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

Ah yes the old double reverse Tripoli coin - HCBTT has eight.

For nothyng is better than lyberte
For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world
