Now, a word about how to look up stuff like this. I entered the keyphrase "Baden 10 marks 1879-G Numista" (without quotation marks) in my Google...
Looks real. Perhaps ex-jewelry. The edge marks are ornamental, as made. Let me sniff up some data for you. But in the meantime, vis-a-vis your...
I'd love to see a video or animated GIF of the coin in the OP. I'll bet it has a lot more flash and contrast that we're not seeing in the photos.
One has to jump through hoops and provide documentation. And PCGS declined to put the Reigate Hoard pedigree on my Henry VI groat on the label,...
The Round 11 prize has been shipped to @Noah Worke today, December 12, 2022.
In a little over an hour, I'll do the Round 12 drawing, and then we can wrap this contest and open Giveaway #80. I must say, it has been fun.
In my more poverty-stricken days, I made my bones by cherrypicking bulk lots of World coins and selling or swapping the better finds, gradually...
I love old World coins like this (especially European). I often value them higher on sentimental "coolness factor" than in dollars and cents,...
Ah. Since I failed to address that original question properly, I'd say you got an average deal. Neither a ripoff nor a screaming bargain. Just...
It appears to be a 1/2-ecu of Louis XIII. The rough surfaces overall and graffiti scratches on the reverse will knock its value down...
Those are pretty. I like the portrait vignettes, the fonts, and the mention of gold coins. That's about all I'm qualified to say over here on...
That looks like a museum display, not some tourist kiosk. ;) And an impressive array at that. Those aureii... all that Byzantine gold... I'd...
A lot more than one cent! LOL ;) Maybe a couple of bucks, I'm guessing. I'll let the error folks answer that. It's not my area.
Probably closer to the truth, as-is. I was merely quoting the Numismedia catalog price above.
Post it, in its own thread! (Or did you, already?) Didn't see it...
According to Krause, the catalog value for the 1720-A 1/3 ecu is disappointingly low. In that grade, with the old scratch across the obverse,...
I think this is it... 1/3 ecu. Diameter 26.5 mm. "A" mintmark (Paris) below the point of the shield. I'm pretty sure the little critter and...
The type which @chuckylucky5 identified is 23 mm, so I dunno. Was there another slightly larger denomination? Hmm... Edit- oh, wait- I just...
Does your Krause catalog have a pictorial chart of all the mintmaster marks, at the front of the France section, which might ID that little...
The Bearn mint had a cow mintmark, but it looked a little different than that critter.
