Yup, that's the one. They were cast, not struck, and the quality tends to be pretty poor. This one is superb. I bid €370 and it hammered for €400....
Lovely coin and a nice consolation prize. I was also outbid on a lot in that auction - the 1644 Batavia 1/2 stiver, one of the finest specimens...
Awesome!
That's a beautiful coin.
I'm thinking I'll do 2x2 cardboard flips. I'll need to come up with a satisfactory method of labelling.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the pictures.
I honestly don't know - would that be something NGC would notate on a slab?

That is interesting!
Thanks! I don't know exactly what the scroll represents - there's a Wikipedia page on Liberia's national coat of arms but all it says is "scroll"....

I was happy to add this coin to my collection not long ago. I like the design and imagery of the reverse. [ATTACH] LIBERIA CU Cent (25.5mm,...
Thanks for sharing your experience @Dafydd ! Sounds like a very pleasant way to spend the day. 19th century rupees for just over melt?? I wouldn't...
