I've been eyeing this specimen for about a year. Frankfurt, 1859, Memorial Thaler, Centennial of the birth of Schiller, KM# 359. Johann...
TWO wildmen on the same coin!
An interesting coin. County of Lippe-Detmold, 6 pfennig. Host coin KM# 65 (1644-1669), officially counterstamped twice, making this example KM#...
The text is sharp on that one!
I use a combination of things, but I too like the sold sections of eBay and the coinfacts auction results. As a world collector, I find numista...
Pass. Any coin with even the smallest green speck gets a no from me, even raw coins. In fact, I was just looking at a nice MS64 German pfennig....
Sweet. My earliest is the 1700s!
Don't forget Bremen. They use a key motif too!!! I'll post some of them when we get a hundred years later in this time line.

I don't know about price, but I'd guess XF-AU
Not the best pics. But the NGC ones are worse and don't show off the gorgeous color! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

No. Some good business strikes (usually the first struck by a die) may also have the squared rims, but modern proofs are very easy to tell from...
Obviously by measuring the face you could tell the denomination. I owned a defaced quarter die one at one point that came in a mint case with a...
Separate names with a comma.
