Nice write up and nice jeton. One small correction, but this jeton is actually Dutch/Belgian (technically "Spanish Netherlands) in origin, from...
From the John Quincy Adams (estate) Collection, a Bremen 24 Grote (1/3 Thaler). A budget-ish piece, and kind of cool to think that a former...
In that condition, not much value. Maybe a few bucks each.
Unholed one looks like a Saxony 1/12 thaler. Holed one looks like an Austrian 6 kreuzer.
I'd bet a 1p. Just squinting at the OP's pics, the edges do not look as sharply 7-sided as a typical 20p planchet. It is not perfectly round,...
With the red luster still in the incuse parts of the coin, I also doubt that this is mere environmental toning.

Only went in for 2, but lost on both.
That looks genuine to me. Nice medal, nice series. They all have that bland reverse, but the portraits are great and they almost all have a...

"Restrike" usually means that a coin was minted from original dies, but at a later date than the original striking. In your specific case, your...
I'd agree with the furryfrog02; these don't seem to generate a ton of collector interest. There are just too many of them (and too many mints) to...
Looks like a play-money version of a gold sovereign.
Exactly, Harper's Weekly's editor missed that one.
So I know that I have seen folks here post versions of this little Nurnberg klippe medal before, and it is not uncommon to see it pop up in...
