zjemller Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Can anyone identify this coin- Bought it for $10 from a friend, I am guessing it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 You have purchased a well circulated 1617 Dutch Lion Daalder (Lionthaler), here's a later example in MS condition... http://www.mkjassociates.com/cgi-bin/ilgvu...=46&lot=765 Definitely worth $10, probably $100 or more to the right person. The 1648 MS-61 example above had a pre-sale estimate of between $300-$400, and sold for $3800. Good find! PS - I hope we can count on you to post this on our "How Far Back Can We Go" thread if we ever get that far... http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?showto...0&start=500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I could leave a picture early and then someone can put it up when the time is right? I PM'd you my email address, send me the photo and I'll put it up and give you credit. Though at the glacial pace that HFBCWG usually moves, after I post my 1723 you'll have at least a month to conclude your business overseas...

Vfox Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Easily worth $20... Now that we are finally past 1726 I am standing by with a decent 1723. I love old worn cracked coins like that. I have an 8 reale from the Maravilla shipwreck in the 1620's with a huge split in the planchet. It adds loads of character to a coin in my opinion. And I would be fairly certain your coin would bring at least and probably over $50 at auction. Heck I'd be happy to get one for that, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your email must have gotten mixed up in my spam folder, which I just emptied five minutes ago. And I can find no coin on your post with the date 1722. I'm not usually this thick...
