ccg Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Are there proofs unlisted in Krause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I know there are some. I don't have my books up here. If no one answers before tomorrow, I'll let you know. Do you want a list of them all, or do you have something specific in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hamburg schilling 1855A. The coin is listed in Krause, but I see no mention of a proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banivechi Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Billon coin (.375 Silver) in Proof? I don't think so! At this title they must add some Nickel in the alloy for stopping the copper to erupt to the surface of the coin (technology used in 1930's for making the .500 silver coins to look like .825). As I know, the Nickel wasn't used in 1855 in coins alloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Okay. I saw one, and the surfaces looked somewhat better than usual, though there were some marks. (bagmarks?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 It's possible. Krause can't possibly list everything and when I checked Krause some time ago about my 1834 Alexandrine Ruble, they didn't mention about PROOF. It was then quite recently that there were indeed proof types of such. It maybe possible that yours can be a proof... do show us a picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
