When silver went up, the coins would either get smaller or they would reduce the purity. Silver wears much faster than steel, chrome, and nickel...
I think that the neatest of the notgeld coins are those made of porcelain, usually around Dresden, but there are others. The porcelains were...
As a 'Merican living in Canada since 1997, I am usually ashamed of the grannie-bait that the RCM puts out, as I am with this creature. Every once...
It has probably been dipped, plated or washed to make it appear "silver". There were no silver or nickel loonies made in 1987. Sometimes kids...
Well, you can still put down the 1858, and most would agree. New books are being written with corrected figures. Then the 1890H, the 1894, 1898H...
Under the Vicky section, the "lowest minted" and "rarest variety" are wrong. Those two that are listed are for 5 cent silvers, not the large...

Sweden copper 1 Ore, 1626.... not sure which mint. I think that it looks VF-20ish, maybe a bit higher/lower if seen in hand. Only by looking...
It is sometimes very hard to see what's on the coin unless it is in hand. I would suggest that you take the coins to the library and get a copy...
I think that it's a VF ... very far.
This guy here on Ebay may be able to do it. This is the 3rd different one I've seen him have up for auction. I think that they are quite nice:...
It still looks like the Indian (Assam) 1/32 rupee (KM 245) at less than probably 6mm is the smallest and it's 19th century. The 1/16 rupee (KM246...
