Kamnaskires Posted June 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 19, 2022 Congrats on the pickup, Paul. Neat coin. I do see that Stephen Album has had past sales of Chinese and South Asian coins from the "Jess A. Yockers Collection". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniard Posted June 19, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Thanks Bob.. This coin along with others were bought from Stephen Album by Pankaj at Coin India a few years back...I've been picking them off one by one...I'll do some searching and see what I can find. Thanks again. Edited June 19, 2022 by Spaniard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulla80 Posted June 24, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2022 Jess A. Yockers Collection - some sold last year in Stephen Album auctions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniard Posted June 24, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Thanks @Sulla80...You and Bob have both come up with the same name...Problem is I cannot find anything on line regarding this collection apart from Stephen Album auctions.?? Here's a couple of photos in hand showing it isn't as "green" as the sellers photo shows in the op. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
