Does anyone know how much this 1780 RIMP.HU.BO.REG.M.THERESIA.D.G. worth?

Does anyone know how much this 1780 M.THERESIA.D.G. worth?

As you can see lots of details on the reverse is missing, there is no right eagle head and the crown does not have lots of details other strikes have!
I happened to buy a couple of these which seems to be from the same mintage, and they all weigh around 27 grams !
Any information on the value of this coin and the year of mintage is much appreciated !

Welcome to the neighborhood!

It's possible that it could be the result of a weak strike; it's possible that it could just be circulation wear, and it's also possible that it is a fake since the MT's were counterfeited quite a bit.

Since I don't collect most foreign coins, I hope someone will chime in who might know.

This appears to be a MT restrike that have been restruck for the past 100 years plus. If this is the case which I strongly believe since I own quite a few, the value is $25-$35 dollars.

 

thank you for your information, it was really helpful !

 

Any other idea!?

 

I have seen a great many of these over here in the UK - and as someone else has pointed out, they have been restriking them constantly. (I heard somewhere that oil workers in the Middle East like to be paid in Bullion Silver and they have been struck to meet that demand.)

All that said, this is the worst restrike I have ever seen! Not only the points you have noted, but also the lettering is crude and mis-shaped. I would suspect a complete fake - have you tested the metal for silver content? (No harm in doing this as they only ever seem to make melt value anyway.)

Hey Traci... can you assign a numerical grade to that designation?

ok how big are these coins i have a old bracelet that has 5 coins 3 dated the above 1780 and the smallercoins dated 1704 have a quarter sigh at the bottom the smaller coins are a size of a 5 pence the others are the size of a penny .

 

The Maria Theresia Thalers made by the Austrian Mint these days are dated 1780, and have a diameter of about 4 cm. Actually 39.5 mm.

I have just acquired a coin of 1780 M. THERESIA. D.G.. The size of it is rather large. It measured 45 mm in diameter. According to chrisild, the Moderator, it is supposed to be about 40 mm.
Was my coin specially made as a gift when presented to foreign ruler such as ancient Chinese king?

 

The pieces made by the Austrian Mint these days have that diameter; yours could be older or some kind of variety. Unfortunately your image is not displayed here - these would be the links to the two sides of your coin:

What's the edge look like?

 

Here are links to the images Badger Mint asked. There I once again up loaded both the obv and rev images in much better focused view. This is a historically puzzling coin.

Thank you!

 

Unfortunately, it's not the first one I've seen.

 

I must add the coin with me weighed 35 grams which is significantly (over 20%) heavier than 29 grams as reported by example cited as forged. May I know what does it imply?
