<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 24637717, member: 10461&quot;]Once upon a time, you used to be able to get these for &lt;$20, but those days seem to be mostly gone.&nbsp; (Gold was cheaper then.) I did luck into three of them in that price range recently, which I bought for my giveaways. </p><p><br /></p><p>Last time I looked in online stores like VCoins and such, fully attributed examples seem to go for $40-50-ish and up.&nbsp; Mind you, I do not know a whole lot about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ones I just bought were said to have been struck circa 1700-1830, with gold content ranging between 35-80% purity.&nbsp; So there&#039;s not a lot of gold in there, but it is still an old gold coin.&nbsp; The sheer tininess of it adds to the charm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours has nice color so it probably has pretty good gold content.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s from the later end of the date range (ca. late 1700s to early 1800s), but I don&#039;t know enough to attribute them and tell you which Princely State it&#039;s from, etc.&nbsp; Perhaps someone here will know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
