5kop1766/5CM overdate (not in Bakken book)

[sigistenz]

I presented this coin a few weeks ago, but as it was lacquered, the details were less clear.

By soaking the coin in thinner, the lacquer could be affected, boiling in water& baking soda took away the remainders*).

I hope that my new pictures of the 1766/5 overdate are more convincing.

Now the coin is shut in a little wooden cheese box, together with a few matches.

The vapors inside are already beginning to produce a nice chocolate toning Sigi

*) Still some dirt left as I see now on my picture

Nice overdate, Sigi!

You might want to try some olive oil now that you have removed the lacquer.

Much clearer Sigi. Interesting, as it's not the usual kind of 1766/5CM overdate.

 

Best,

As I only see now from my 900dpi picture, the edge has been overstruck(?) - let's say overmilled.

An earlier netting seems to be underlying (remainder of a 10kop1762(? ). Sigi
