Muscat and Oman coin.

[rayrayvegas]

Dug this up today at a house they tore down from the early 1900's. Its a 1/4 Anna Muscat and Oman coin, from what I found out its from 1897 or a AH1315 and quite rare. Has anyone seen this before or maybe has a value? Thanks

There's one on ebay for $16 but maybe it's a different variety

Think I need to get this one checked, google it and ebay coins came up of my coin ranging from 65. To 400 dollars. Depending on condition.

See my dilema?

Yes, and I'm aware there are somewhere north of 20 variations of this same coin, mainly in the legend; and the two extreme values differ widely.
If I can find more, I'll let you know.

PS: As an afterthought, you may wish to look into the Standard Catalog of World Coins (1801 to 1900) at your local library.
