Given by a friend of the family.

Well, apparently there was some kind of dig or excavation and a few Bulgarian Coins from the time when that country was ruled by a Monarch were found. It seems they had a few extra ones and the the curator at a museum (I don't know which one) gave 2 of them to a friend of my mother who is from that country. Well, she knew that I collect coins including some foriegn coins I've found over time and so she gave them to my mother to give to me.

The coins are black as coal but they still have a fair bit of detail and I believe the surfaces are original and uncleaned (I've been looking at them under 5x and I'm not seeing anything that suggests cleaning to me). I've placed them in cardboard 2x2s for the moment but I'm not sure what should be done for these contemporaries to the Morgan dollar. I'll include an image of one of them but my efforts to image them are less than a brilliant success so far. (The white specks and lines aren't on the coin)
