Hello, I just got this coin. I am wondering if it would be worth it to spend the money getting it graded. It looks like the coin could be worth between 50 - 500 dollars. What would you guess it's condition to be? Thanks.
That's an unusual design (man with breasts and a tutu?) and I'd really have to see an uncirculated example to grade it accurately, but I'd say somewhere around VF.
Those are the best examples I have been able to find. After further research, I have found that it is a GERMAN STATES BRUNSWICK-LUNEBURG-CALENBERG-HANNOVER 24 Mariengroschen, Gulden coin Ruler: George Ludwig
Sort of. See here for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_man#Early_modern_and_modern_depictions , or do an Internet search for "wild man coins". Christian
