My 1805 Spanish Colonial 8 reales

 

Just picked this one up yesterday and thanks to some CT members
I now know what it is.

 

Two of my rare favourites. Santiago 1813 4 reales FJ with inverted J and the Chile 1822 volcanic peso.

 

US silver, this 1805 Half Dollar:



Overall, this 1558 from the Sweedish occupation of Danzig:

 

Whoa! 1558 takes the cake, so far.

 

to keep with the op and the four oldest... in age order...

 

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.

 

Hi Eduard, fantastic please share, would love to see them. Here is my latest acquisition 1833 8 Escudos.

 

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.

 

Sorry, did not note the US forum. Nice posts anyway.

 

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:

I realize this is in a U.S. Coins Forum ... Sorry!
But I couldn't resist ...



This is my oldest Silver U.S. coin ...

 

:thumb: I love that Flowing Hair.

 

I concur. That FH half is one of the most beautiful things I've ever set eyes on. I'd give a fairly large chunk of my collection up just to hold it. :too-funny:
