Just popping in for a mo' and I see discussion on my favourite subject area :-) The T mint mark is for Nantes. The coin was struck in 1791, 2,...
What is maybe a bit less common is finding one in Kirkcaldy, Scotland. ;-) Ian
But Aidan....that's my point. Arcade tokens tend to be good only within the confines of the arcade. The Scottish conder tokens traded as money...
It isn't a coin, but it IS a token. Just as you will find that the use of arcade tokens are limited to specific arcades, the use of these trade...
Oh Aidan! Dearie me laddie can ye no read? The coin is a DUNDEE PENNY and NOT a DUNDEE HALFPENNY. It didn't have the same intrinsic size or...
Re thwe Hungarian....I had thought it was KM383 (1767 -1771) as opposed 375.2 (1763-66). I had discounted to 375.1 (1760 -62) because i didn't...
Second last is a copper pfennig from Austria dated 1765. The last one is a copper denar from Hungary dated 1769.
If you find such an individual, I supspect they still won't tell you what you particularly want to hear, but do keep us informed of your progress...
I've already said this, but i'll say it again in any event. The probabilities of finding anyone who can `authenticate' that coin from the image...
Do you classify re-strikes alongside `fakes' or something Aidan? There is a big difference There are many coinages that have seen official...
OK, you stand by its authenticity. Great. So that makes it an authentic what? Whether I or anyone else was able to find your particular coin...
So, yours is a 1793 M (meaning it was minted at Toulouse). The one on the website is a 1792 W (minted at Lille). If your coin is indeed in...
Hi, As GD has already mentioned we did indeed continue to discuss this coin for a good while (away from this board so that we wouldn't...
Aidan, could you refer to your book on french sunandmoondials and let me know if there were any 1704's with a light switch? Ian
It has it's plus points that the others don't...... ;-) A yes, the Ecu aux Insignes 1701-03. The coin was ripe for being overstruck in 1704...
Absolutely. Ciani leaves a lot to be desired...including dimensions/ weights and various other bits of what i would classify as `critical'...
What happens when it's dark and you have to use your torch to see what time the sudial says it is? Not casting any shadows here, but can you...
(?) Maybe I haven't been clear. The coin in that image NOS provided is a clear match for Ciani #1928 which he notes as being either a 1/8th or...
The exact error message I receive from these links are: "bcvrf.yahoo.com cannot be found. Please check the name and try again." I've never...
That is a very easy one to answer. An original silver coin may have a `silver content value' and very little collector value either due to it...
