Screw press perhaps? I don't think there were any mints left in Europe that were still hammering by 1800, though I could be wrong.
-
Neat pieces!
-
Wow!
-
Great thread! I can't think of anything around here, unfortunately.
-
That 3 kreuzer must be a condition rarity!
-
Thanks! It came as a suprise to me as well. Some of the rolls I broke had up to 7 US quarters in them (80% SQs), so that really helped. I'm guessing a lot of it's coming from Canadians bringing back their cross-border shopping change and putting it into circulation here.
-
I agree. I note that the s/n are only six apart!!
-
Got some rolls from a bank and finally completed my SQ collection (from Canada!). Now I need to get the territories. (Have DC and PR)
-
Wow, very nice! I seldom see any SA silver beside ZAR issues.
-
Nice nickels, and congrats on getting some notes! I do find it funny about the notes - $50 of $850 isn't even a 10% discount. Talk about trying not to make friends As for indoor lighting, fluorescent tubes work well, though sometimes I'll use a piece of paper or white cloth to cover it to diffuse the light a bit.

c'mon

Yes, please do tell....

Congrats!
-
Great piece, and great strike as well! (no pun intended)

Interesting. My only Hawaiian quarter is in the form of a spoon's bowl
-
First two things that came to mind: 1. Silvertowne logo 2. Arm and Hammer baking soda
-
Nice run!
-
Going back up a few posts, you've got some nice Hawaiian and a great Columbian half! I only ever seen them in XF/AU
-
Holy cow, those have got to be rare!
-
Not that different from here, considering how many small shops outright reject $50 and $100 notes.
-
To my understanding, 200 peso is the largest regular circulating note, and it's commonly advised when buying stuff in the marketplaces and streets to carry coins as well as 50 and 100 peso notes since some small vendor may have difficulty providing change for a 200, especially if it's early in the day!
-
Nice piece, that I'd also be concerned about its legality.

I don't think it so much nobody caring but rather that it's so specialized a topic. -
Neat stuff! Speaking of 5c - one problem in Canada was that the Canadian silver 5c was not compatable with American made vending machines that were made to accept nickels, so tokens were commonly used, though some would go through the efforts to import US nickels.

Thanks for your in-depth response! Around here, I only encounter (and only very seldomly) whole pieces, but I was wondering since online there seems to be a lot of cut halves and quarters.
