Tomten Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 When I was going through my coins from Holland/Netherland I found this 1 G from 1980. There are 3 different versions of 1980 1 Gulden, normal, silver and golden. I've tried google but have yet to see any picture of any silver och golden version. But what I can see on my coin is that it's not like the normal versions I've seen pictures on. So I suppose it's the silver version? Anyone can confirm this? Or should the whole coin be in silver, or just like my coin? Next step is the quality of the coin.. which I'm not so good at. It has probably been circulated and it has some scratches on the neck. In the World Coins book, there is no price set for F-VF-XF-UNC, just for BU- 1,500 $.. What do you think it's worth? If it's a Silver version, KM#200a http://img152.imageshack.us/i/1980m.jpg/ http://img683.imageshack.us/i/1980j.jpg/ There is also a difference in weight between the normal and silver version, of 0.5 grams. I don't have any equipment to check that out either. :/ Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 It looks like a circulation nickel strike to me. There were only 7 gold and 157 silver pieces struck. I'm assuming they were in special cases, and the catalogs note the addition of a Z mark added to indicate the silver version (ZIJ on the rim is not the added Z).

Tomten Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Yes I know that it says Added Z, but if you compare it to any other picture you can find on the internet of a "normal" 1980 Gulden 1 of this kind, they don't have this "silvery" part in the middle.. that's what makes me wonder..

Tomten Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine.php?image=img5/130-200&desc=Netherlands%20km200%201%20Gulden%20(1980)%20Investure%20of%20New%20Queen&query=Netherlands%20km%20200 Can't see that it's silvery like me in the middle.. but idk. http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid=767756 I read on this topic now that that Z should be added by the Mint Mark on the obverse.. I'll check my coin out and come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomten Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Oh yes, it's a normal nickel strike, has no Z as you can see.. I guess I googled and found pictures that were poorly taken. Thanks for your input Bill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
