KurtS Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Spending the holidays in Norway, I had hoped to pick up a few coins there--but without luck. I return home to find these two coins for sale in my own city--at a fraction of what they would cost in Norway. 1780 Christian VII 2 Skilling 18mm, 1gr 1803 Christian VII 2 Skilling. A better grade, plus an interesting mintmark variety--compare to the pic below. I was told the engraver was nearly blind. 18mm, 1.53gr Normal Kongsberg mint mark--crossed hammers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrey5 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 KurtS, You might be interested to compare the mintmark on your coin with the one on the coin I sold on eBay a few weeks ago http://avscoins.com/Sold/viewlarge.php?id=NOR-9&cat=Norway&file=[NOR-9]Norway-2-Skilling-1803.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Andrey, That 1803 is a nice example with the normal Kongsberg mintmark Too bad I missed the 1649 2 Skilling for sale--that was a very good price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
