Hello! I'm new in forum, so hope for Your help.... recently has got this Patagon in superb condition. How to understand - where it was minted ? I suppose Antwerpen, but... is it so really ? By what it's possible to identify? Looks like bottom of hand above to crown, so I'm thinking for Antwerpen. How You could grade this coin pls .... VF, VF+ or XF ? Many thanks in advance!
worth of silver Patagon 1625 Hello! I'm new in forum... want to ask some advice. How You could grade this coin pls ? By Krause at VF is worth 350.00 USD... May I hope for XF grade for this year ? Many thanks in advance!
I cannot help you on this coin since I know no more than you do. But I like your coin and it looks right to me. I have a similiar coin which I posted here before: http://www.cointalk.com/t203172/
That's VF at best, and the indentation at 3'O clock on the obverse isn't pretty. Probably worth $220 or so.
Yes it was minted in Antwerp as that is indicated in the legend by BRAB which stands for Brabant. edit - I should explain, there were other mints in Brabant. But even though we can't see the the entire mint mark, their mint marks were different enough that we can say this one is Antwerp. As for grade, I would say a details grade of low VF. The coin has some damage. It has been clipped/shaved on the edges, dented, scratched, and just downright abused.
