KM#246, 3 Kreuzer, .350 silver

 

10 Phenning is a semi hard date to find from A mint but I forgot

I think that your right.

 

These 2 came in the mail today. Both were $0.99 bids and I happened to win both. I'm happy with that

1902 Venezuela 2 Bolivares


1706-1750 Portugal 80 Reis

If anyone knows anything else about the Portuguese coin I'd love to hear from you. It weighs 2.89 grams, is silver(not sure %), and has about the diameter of a nickel. I have had a hard time finding any info online about it.

 

I can tell you the king is John V who lived from 1689-1750. Maybe that will help.

 

I did find that through wiki thanks.
I found a KM number, KM 177, but I can't find anything besides stores selling the coin that say it is KM 177.

 

Your coin is listed in Krause as KM#177. Unfortunately it does not give a lot of data. Shows to be silver, but no ASW. ND(1706-50). My 2002 edition give a value of $12 in VG. Unfortunately yours is holed. Your coin matches the illustration in the catalog.

 

Thanks sonlarson. Yeah it's a shame it's holed. Still a cool buy for 99 cents IMO

 

Love this design! I might have to pick up one myself.

I just got a roll of silver German 5 Mark delivered from eBay.

 

This site lists the silver 0.917

those are probably my favorite 5 mark design. i have a few of them even a proof. wow a whole roll awesome.

 

After a 3.5 year search, I finally purchased a Caballito with a full strike. I'm not sure what NGC thinks holds this coin back to MS62, but I grade it MS64.

 

I posted by new Britain Trade Dollar in its own thread. Among my other recent buys are this 1915 G German 1 Mark and 1904 Panama 2 1/2 Centesimos coins.





The 2 1/2 Centesimo de Balboa (basically 2 1/2 cents) is among the smallest coins ever minted and circulated. It is silver. Shown atop a dime for size comparison. I think the autofocus on my camera was unable to find this tiny coin!

For furryfrog02. Portugal KM#177 , 1706-50 , silver , varieties exist
grade/value
VG-$12.00 F-$25.00 VF-$50.00 XF-$150.00
not sure what your coins grade is ? and I am not sure how much value will be taken off for the hole ? Krause values may differ than real market values.

 

Outstanding!
