Anyone know if one of these has been sold? I look everywhere and I can't find a value. No one has one listed for sale, none have sold on ebay, ngccoin has a hyphen for value. Any hard core collectors out there know approx. mintage or value???
There is no 1850 stuiver no-dot in the Netherlands "Muntalmanak". The common no-dot years are 1863 and 1887.
1850 no dot KM#91 5 cents, has no values in Krause for all 1850's says that mintages is 3,037,000 0.6400 silver. 1855 mintage- 515,000 grade/value F-$5.00 VF-$12.00 XF-$20.00 UNC-$40.00 BU-$50.00 Krause values may differ than real life market values...
I'm also going to post the words "1850 5 cent Netherlands WITHOUT DOT" so that anyone searching (the ENTIRE WORLD for the same answer and can't find it) comes across this thread and may shed light on it. I would be interested in die characteristics that could verify authenticity of a NO DOT versus a forgery. Also, is it a forgotten punch of the die, or a filled die, or another reason there are 2 varieties?
What is this Muntalmanak? I'm convinced that if nothing shows up in english, I may have to search Dutch. I mean, who better to be experts in a nation's coins than the nation from which the coin came?
The muntalmanak is a catalog of Dutch coins, from the Batavian Republic until today. Current issue is the 32th edition (2015), and as THCoins wrote, it says "the years 1863 and 1887 have no dot after the year; the others do" ... Christian
Why do so many people list their coins for sale 1850 5 cent netherlands "dot", or "with dot"? It's b/c there is ONE coin out there without a dot, or hundreds, thousands?
People list it as "with dot" because the book they are using lists two varieties. Knowing how badly the Krause catalogs are edited, I would not be surprised if the variety was in fact meant to be there for another date, or even another denomination. There are some known examples of mixed up varieties in those catalogs.
