<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8263686, member: 110226&quot;]Here&#039;s another LD that I photographed today.&nbsp; I spend a lot of time trying to get the best resolution, but I&#039;m usually not satisfied with the results, so if fiddle around a lot with adjustments through Photoshop.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a a lion daalder from Overijssel (TRANS), 1699, another late date.&nbsp; Lion daalders from the 1630&#039;s through the 1650&#039;s are relatively easy to obtain, particularly from 1647 through 1650.&nbsp; The same is true for the 1576 and 1589 issues, with one exception - the 1589 Zeeland lion daalder is extremely rare.&nbsp; I was lucky to be able to obtain one through a Roma Numismatics auction last year.&nbsp; I will try to photograph that coin tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Getting back to the Overijssel coin, the wide flan that characterizes lion daalders of this period is present (44mm), as is the often poorly prepared flan and crude strike.&nbsp; Davenport lists this date as rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dav. 4861</p><p><br /></p><p>27.27 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1457769[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
