gxseries Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Can't help noticing that they are both "odd" denomination... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan769 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Both coins have fractions, very hot. Went with silver, i love silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I am having a tough time deciding on this one here: the groschen is silver, clean, and in excellent condition. But that kreutzer is like chocolate, and those eagles are always so appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 OK, I finally forced a decision: the 1/4 kreutzer. Silver is my favorite coin metal, I love the shine on that groschen, and I prefer the solid roundness of more modern milled coins. However, I tried to put general prefernces aside and look at the coin itself. For a copper coin of that year, it is so clean, round, and nicely toned that I just could not resist. The font and arms were a plus too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
