Yes, I expect there would be a large crowd of screaming nerds with flaming torches and pitchforks and nooses at my door... LOL
Can't beat historic cheapos like that. If I remember correctly, those Austrian "1816" coins were struck with "frozen" dates, from 1816 on up...
It looks like you've got an opinion from someone who knows the series here, so I've got nothing to add except say it's pretty.
Hey, maybe somebody will give ME the King of Siam set, and with a few slight alterations, I can add it onto my Holey Coin Hat! Whaddya think?...
You were lookin' out for me, and I appreciate it. :)

I just agreed to a swap which will acquire me this ca. 1623-24 British gold Laurel of King James I. King James is of course famous for...

My local detecting mentor found two on the same site near the waterfront in our town. They were from vastly different eras. One was a 1781...
I'd tend to believe the slab label, but you're not crazy. It indeed does look like it says 1766.

Blueberries are burstin’ down here.
