ANACS assigned it a net grade of EF30, which I don't really agree with. It was net graded due to planchet corrosion (looks like black specks on the picture, actually tiny "digs" in the surface) The reason I sent it in, though, was to authenticate, not grade. It's already out of it's slab and resting in a 2x2 in my album I was quite sure it was authentic, but since it appears to be a variety with a small star before "8R", instead of a large star listed in "Resplandores" - I wanted to be sure.

Thats is a nice coin.

1825



Not a coin though these coronation medals were often struck on coin planchets.

That's a very cool one, elverno!

I have an 1823 Palma de Mallorca piece I could post once 1824 has been posted. In fact, big chunk of my collection is 1800-1821

~Roman

So who'll fill the 1824 slot?? I have no coins from that year...

If you don't mind, I have a 1825/4 10 kopek

How about an 1824/over 2, lol.

Very cool overdates, guys

Here's the 1823 piece I mentioned before:



Here's a bit of history for those that are unfamiliar with this mint:

Palma De mallorca is a capital of the Balearic Islands, and was reconquered from the Arabs by James I in 1229. James II was the first to coin gold and silver reales, as well as doubloons and denars of silver alloy, at this mint.

The Islands constituted a separate kingdom for somewhat more than a century. Then, under the reign of Peter IV of mallorca, the islands passed to the crown of Aragon. Subsequently, with the unification of Castille and Aragon upon the marriage of Fedinand and Isabella, the Islands were incorporated to the kingdom of Spain.

The Palma de mallorca Mint struck mainly small coins. It was not until the invasion of the mainland by Napoleon's troops that a large silver piece, the "30 sous", equivalent to the Eight Reales, was coined.

In 1821, due to an epidemic that kept Palma de mallorca isolated, it was necessary to coin again. This special currency bears an appropriate legend: SALUS POPULI.

In 1823 appears the last local coinage, reflecting the political changes of the time, since the five pesetas piece of this issue comes in two variants, one with and one without the inscription "Constitucion".

Hey! Are we dead already?? I thought we'd stumble another 50 years down the road!!!

Next dates I have are 1819 and 1817.

I've got this medal from 1822 but no coins...

Here you go:

1821

1820

1819

The condition is not great, but that is my only Ionikon Kratos coin.

1818

Poor shape but 1817 15 star cent. 1/4 die rotation



I'm out of it until 1798, 1795, 1787.

Nice U.S. pieces, guys!

Something tells me we've entered the elverno zone... for the next 15 years or so! (I've been looking at your collection here and on Omnicoin; it's terrific.)

Thanks Frank. Of course I don't own much out of the zone and there are some wonderful coins others own that ought to get seen. So I'm trying to restrain myself!

1810 5 Francs, France.



Ok, so just ignore me and post your stuff from 1789-> 1815 whenever appropriate. Pretend I'm not here...

In a word, WOW!

20 Kreuzer, Austria



20 Franks, Westphalia (Paris mint)



20 Kreuzer, Tyrolean Insurrection


This pic doesn't do the coin justice!

1808 1 Kreuzer, Canton of Thurgau



20 Kreuzer, Austria



1 Lire, Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy



1 Creutzer, Canton of Neuchâtel



X Cash, British East India.

elverno, that 20 Kreuzer looks quite lustrous! I have also never seen the Creutzer from Canton of Neuchâtel before. Very cool!

1807

1806

1805

1804

1803

1802 (1802/1 actually)



And I'm done for a bit.

1802 2 Kopecks, Russia



7 Kreuzer, Austria


Overstruck on 1795 12 kreuzer

1 Kreuzer, Brandenburg- Ansbach - Bayreuth



5 Francs, Subalpine Republic

And a nice run indeed!

Thanks Elverno, only one missing was my draped bust dime! I'm loving that 5 Francs from the Subalpine Republic, very nice coin!

1801 1 Pfenning, Lowenstein-Wertheim



30 Soldi (1 1/2 Lira), Cisalpine Republic



2 Kopecks, Russia

1800 (Btw, I'm not sure if this coin is legit either. )




Don't let Elverno and I have too much fun guys

My turn to play:

1799 Mexico City - 8 Reales:


1798 Mexico City - 8 Reales:


1797 Mexico City - 8 Reales:

Very nice reales! That 98 has a nice bit of lustre, eh?

Thanks, Vfox The '99 actually has more luster than the '98. The '98 appears to have been cleaned/dipped at some point and is re-toning.

Wonderful coins. I'm totally jealous.

1796 Farthing


Though technically it passed as money it really was political satire.

1 Pfenning, Waldeck-Pyrmont



32 Shillinge, Lübeck



20 Kreuzer, Salzburg

1795 Sardinia 20 Soldi

The farthing is beautiful. What character!!!
