Bluesfil Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Good grief, where on earth do you even find such lots? Do you get them from auction houses here in Australia? Yep - I got them from Edlins latest auction 2 weeks ago One of the lots was mainly Silver crown sized coins and some florins I get the catalogue, check out the ones that look interesting , go in and view them - anything that looks promising I bid on. Its mainly the effort of going through them that yields coins that have been overlooked by the seller. The world lots at Edlins auctions are always pretty good and there are always plenty of them.

Bluesfil Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 This one has me stumped - it appears to be a hammered coin - a 12th of one R which I am speculating might be a Reichstaler.
