Thanks Here's the coin in question. It purports to be a 1/4 thaler from Bremen. However, my 1st edition KM for 1601 -1700 only lists a 1/4 thaler for 1651, and it is exceedingly rare. My first impressions are that this coin is a fake but if anyone has a more recent edition it might be in there........anyone (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I know next to nothing about German coins, but in my opinion the appearance is very similar to the fakes of Russian coins sold in eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawsonsLV Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 However, my 1st edition KM for 1601 -1700 only lists a 1/4 thaler for 1651, and it is exceedingly rare. I haven't found any info on quick search, but I wouldn't judge because of KM. KM is far from to accurate even dealing with XXc. And it seems they're going to keep their mistakes in the future editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems they're going to keep their mistakes in the future editions. I'm aware of KM's limitations. However, i'm not basing my concerns about this item being fake solely on its absence from KM. Checking with various auction catalogues (for example, Kricheldorf / Nurnberg/ Rauch) have also drawn blanks. Now then... consider the design elements etcetera... Definite fake? I can't say for sure. Probable fake? Most definitely. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Has anyone heard of `World of Coins' dated 1988? If so, apparently the coin is referenced there.....anyone? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is more important, the design of this 1652 piece differs greatly from the photo in Krause: the eagle's tail on rev. and the key and the crown on obv. are different. IMHO this is a fantasy fake.
