    Very nice, Derick!
    Unusual to see Chilean colonial and early republic coins here in C.T. That is a nice volcano peso. Scarcer than the commonly seen 1817 FJ.
    I have a nice collection of chilean colonial and early republican coins.

    Leadfoot, are you sure of this attribution? This looks like a typical 1/2 Grosz from the reign of Sigismund II Augustus, the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1548-1572. Awesome coin, but I'm not sure what it has to do with the Swedes or Danzig per se.

    I'm wondering what it has to do with US Coins as that is the name of the forum?

    Sorry but you World Guys blow us new stuff collectors away when it comes to ages.

    Don't worry, Derick. It was nice to see your coins. I will set up a separate thread in the world coins section.


    Here is my oldest U.S silver:
