1815 Haiti Republique Silver 25 Centimes Howdy fellow coin peeps, :thumb: I thought I'd share my newest "world" aquisition with you, even though I have others I haven't shared yet but I will shortly. I purchased this from someone I've purchased several other "world" coins from in the past (most of the other ones I need to post) and he attests to its authenticity but I will send it off for official authenticating after it arrives. The pics are the seller's pics and I will provide better ones once it arrives with another coin I also purchased from this seller with this transaction (saves on shipping). I've had only positive dealings with this seller so I believe this to be authentic and also because it comes from a place where something like this could easily stay hidden from the world. :whistle: Ribbit
NGC said the same thing so as soon as it arrives I'm shipping it off to them for authenicating/grading. Something like this has to be officially authenticated/graded to get what it's worth, if I ever decide to sell it but I'll probably keep it with my colonial collection I'm building. Thanks for your input! :thumb: Ribbit Ps: Request - will a Mod please edit the tilte of this post and change 1813 to 1814. I thought it was an 1813 25 Centimes but found out after posting this that it is an 1814 so I'd appreciate someone correcting the title for me since I can't. :thumb:
If anyone has access to Klause (sp?) the numbers are KM 12.1 (1813) & 12.2 (1814-1816). Any information from there would be greatly appreciated. :thumb: Ribbit
The Krause number is Haiti KM#12.2 (20-21 mm). KM#12.1 was only issued in 1813, with date "L'An 10". Your coin is neither 1813 or 1815, but 1814, with date 'L'An XI'. Independence year was 1804, which is "year 1 - l'an 1". "L'An XI" or 'year 11' happens to be 1814. KM#12.2
Kewlie Beans! I had no clue as to date and had to go by what someone told me that knew more than I did. I appreciate you taking the time to look that up and for posting what you found. :thumb: Ribbit
