Guys, if you can figure this one out, you deserve legendary status or something. The local shop asked me to identify it, and said they thought it might be from Iran or Iraq? I scanned it in the 2x2 to give you an idea of its actual size.

Wow guys, I think we've got it. Amazing. There is info available out there for reading the date and mint mark, but it's not really possible to make it out on this specimen. I think what info we have here is more than enough. Thanks!!!!! How much do you think I should put on the price tag?
