pre 1501 AD coins with dates

tibor: I never took it personally. Keep in mind that I collect holed(sometimes plugged) and creatively destroyed U.S. coins. They are not in range of thread title.

My 1796 No Pole Half Cent:

WOW!! That half cent has seen some rough times. The Breen book on
half cents states approximately 20 coins are known. Your coin is one
rare bird. Did I read correctly that only one die variety is known? This
might not fall into the "topic of thread title" but it sure is interesting!!
Wish it could tell its story. Have you got any others your willing to share?

 

Yes, only one die variety is known. If only money could talk, I have a couple of questions. It is a tough one to find. It took me a few decades to find it anyway. I had to save up a bit, also. I have lots of others to share.

Maybe one of Brasher's relatives.

 

WOW!! A Chain Cent. Very nice!! I bet you are the envy of
many EACer's. That and the 1796 Half Cent would definitely
be the highlight of any collection.

 

Things worked out better than I thought so I will post a few more.
The hiatus might occur latter.

 

From the Antwerp mint. The date is fuller on the coin.

 

Also from the Antwerp mint, a little rough.

 

From the Bruges. The date is fuller on the coin.

 

The "0" in the date looks like a "C". The only collectible coin from Austria with this date, 7-10 examples known, per Levinson. The other variety has only 2 known, one in Bob's collection. From the Graz mint.

 

From the mint at Cleve. The "9" in the date is expressed as " IX "
instead of "VIIII" as on some other coins. Please disregard my
previous comment about how numbers in dates, Roman numerals,
are expressed. I am referring to my post #110 and #113.

From the Antwerp mint. A relatively nice coin.

 

Also from the Antwerp mint. A single Briquet that is a little rough.

 

From the Bruges mint. For some reason I like this coin.

 

A Gros from the Bruges mint. Its had a rough life.

 

A double Patard. The mint is uncertain per Levinson.

 

Outstanding coins Tibor! We will need you for the thread "counting backwards in time too"

 

Glad your new year is going well. Re: envy, definitely not envy, . Your collection just keep getting more fabulous. I am just showing a few of my better coins. Majority are just so-so. Some are worse than that. I might show a couple of those gross ones. For now, though

 

Wow!! A 1799 large cent. The date is the rarest in the series. I
wonder who "WVD " was, what did they do for a living, where they
lived. If they have any descendants. Most likely we will never know.

 

Well preserved coin from the Zwickau mint in Saxony.

 

From the Antwerp mint.
