That would be 1761 K. The obverse is Maria Theresa Empress of Austria from 1740 -1780. The `K' denotes that it was minted at Kremnitz mint...
I just tried to email you. You do not appear to allow emails to be sent to you via the board. Send me an email and i will respond. Ian.
In which case it is definitely a 1949J (minted at Hamburg). This issue (one year only) has noted missing dates, exactly how much of a premium...
No, it is not common, but it is not unheard of either. Can you tell me exactly what the legend says on your coin, and which letter is it that...
Hi, Mike has already said that you have arrived at the right place, and I would agree with him on that score. I used to collect British...
Hi, Have a look at the `World Coins and Ancients' forum here on cointalk under the thread `Coin ID please'. In response to another query on...
Hi, That one is too far gone for me and my image `fixer' to manage to read the legends. It's definitely not French though, but it does look to...
It's definitely german in origin. It's a 1/2 groschen (1/48 ein thaler) and judging from the side with the crowned eagle it reads VGG Friedrich...

Thanks for the ofer mate. I'll have a bash at doing this and see if I can put my learning cap on straight. I suspect however that you might...
Aha! That would explain it. I've just had a hunt around the site and see that you can have an avatar of so many pixels. Now I just need to find...
(?) Thanks, but to be honest i'm still little the wiser. It must be something to do with the settings, or something else I haven't quite got right...
Probably a coin issued by the British East India Company for Sumatra. Exactly what it is would be better determined by a scan of the item. Ian
erm....what avatar are you talking about? I can't see one for you here (cointalk.org).
If you are looking for coins with crests on them, then you need to widen your horizons beyond Britain. Sure, UK coinage has some but it gets...
The coin was minted at Tower Mint in London 1643-44, the (P) in the obverse legend being the Tower mint mark for that year. As for the `M',...
