elverno Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 1812 2 Kopeks, Russia 29mm - Details - pretty common. These are usually beat up worse than this so I picked it up cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 1808 8 Pfennige, Saxony 18.5mm - Details These are usually quite worn. This has a bit more detail though the reverse is very weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I can't believe they are only 20-25 mm wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 1807 ½ Batzen, Canton of Graubünden, Swiss Cantons 23.5mm - Details A relatively tough canton to get examples from. This is my first coin from Graubünden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 1790 1 Heller, Hesse-Cassel. 19.5mm - Details I've got nothing. Porous maybe? Sometimes I just collect something because it fills a hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 1808 1 Dute, Napoleonic East Indies. 20.5mm - Details Just awful. But they're tough to find in decent shape. The initials are of the Dutch United East India Company. Louis Napoleon had just become King and out in the sticks they continued to use the dies available in 1807-08.

elverno Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 1800 6 Pfennig, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. 16.5mm - Details - scarce A plain, tiny silver coin. It was encased in NGC plastic when I got it where it was noted as having "XF Details / Environmental Damage". It's free to acquire more damage naturally.

Art Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nice additions. I liked the coins that were used and used until they started to flatten out. They give me a great feeling of history and a desire to look back in time to see who might have used the coin and for what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 1814 Paix de Paris, Prussia. 27mm - Details - CCC You would be hard pressed to find a more common jeton or medal of the Napoleonic era. This is the 5th I've collected and I doubt I've spent $20 for the 5 including shipping. Common I tell ya, not RARE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 1816 1 Thaler, Bavaria 41mm Holed of course. Which is why it cost me about bullion price. Plus the face that it's the most common year for the type with over 2 million struck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
