Art Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Very nice. I always enjoyed my well used coins becuase of the history I could image surrounding them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 1805 1 Kreuzer, Hesse-Darmstadt. Billon A filler that is barely identifiable. I've picked up a few of these over time, I put them up anyways but I have no illusions about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 1809 ¼ Guilder, Essequebo & Demarary. Don't expect better pics on my site. This thing is definitely a filler, quite scarce but waiting for a better cousin. I didn't even know they had silver coinage - I've only seen the coppers!

elverno Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I didn't even know they had silver coinage - I've only seen the coppers! Yeah, they issued 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2 guilder silver in 1809; total mintage under 250k for the 4 types. Also they did some crazy countermarking in the same basic time period. The countermarked coins and the 3 bit pieces chopped from those coins are incredibly rare and way beyond my price range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constanius Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Looks like the lion is handy with his fists, but I don't think the Marquess of Queensberry would have approved of sticking your tongue out at your opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 1789 1 Mariengroschen, Lippe-Detmold. 17.75mm A one year type coin, made of billon. Is that a Tudor Rose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 More nice coins Vern. Ditto on the rose question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Good question. The rose is described as the "Rose de Lippe" and represented Lippe-Detmold for centuries. But I don't have an answer for that. Maybe a Tudor daughter that married into the Lippe line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 1789 ½ Penny Token, Ireland. D & H 8 - Wicklow, Cronebane Although this is technically an update it was one of the few remaining pieces left on my site that was still a scanned image instead of photographed. This has vastly improved the color and size of the shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 1791 ½ Penny Token, Great Britain. D&H 2 - Lanarkshire, Glasgow Every once in a while I find boxes of projects I've started and then promptly forgotten. In this case as in several others it's a small box of Conders that either needed new pics or to be put onsite at all. None of them were ever put on Omnicoin.
