<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1087567, member: 5739&quot;]You call that a &#039;small collection&#039; eh Siberian Man? heh, just kidding, great coins, the 1901 type has always been one on the top of my list for Prussian silver coins, a beautiful obverse, also I hope to have a 1888-1913 five mark crown eventually, I like the three mark I have though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone graffito tagged up this 1861 coronation thaler by carving in two dates in the fields on the obverse, both the year ending in &#039;83&#039;. I wonder if it was meant to commemorate the dates in 1883 or 1983... I also wonder what the dates carved in were meant to symbolize to the people who carved them into this coin. In the left obv field is &#039;24-3-83&#039; and in the right field is what looks like &#039;27-3-83&#039; written European style, not surprisingly.... I did buy this coin in Arizona, USA though, for melt value a while back.... beautiful coin otherwise... I always particularly liked the coinjoined busts on this one and the 1901 style that you posted an example of Siberian Man, and I like the eagle stye on the 1861 reverse as well. Definitely interesting coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>chris, I didn&#039;t know the 5m used to be a small 17mm gold coin.... I have always had a thing for small coins, gold and silver....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
