Such die varieties are not my cuppa tea, but good for you!
Why a 1975 for your avatar, out of curiosity? Birthyear?
Really? Wow. I'm surprised to hear that. Not surprised to hear that some of the ones you've found are BU. The XF is a bit more surprising....
Pre-1776 is the theme? I was just catching up. I can do that! [IMG]
It's neat how, with the background in the photo being that color, one has the optical illusion of that being a "cutout" coin, with the darker...
It's safe to assume that we've got an 1873-1916 silver German 1-mark piece, at least, so that mystery is solved.
Yes, I imagine the movement of the metal could account for the slight discrepancy in the diameter. Both the Type 1 and Type 2 Marks had reeded...
I notice that Numista lists the thickness for the (1873-1887) Type 1 at 1.4 mm and the (1891-1916) Type 2 at 1.44 mm, so if you had some really...

Neat token. I unfortunately have no useful information for you, never having seen one before.
Cool. Nickels would be my denomination of choice for such a project. Somewhere I have an old Whitman folder that I decided to try to fill from...
So I eventually determined. This one was educational.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Not hugely valuable, of course, but a neat find.
Neat.
I agree that it should probably stay in that holder. It does risk losing a point in grade and dropping down to a BN designation if resubmitted....
My thoughts exactly. I'd be at 63 on it, maybe, but it's a nice looking coin.
Provincial coins can be interesting because they seem to have a much more varied array of designs and types.
That looks vaguely familiar...
