I once asked,in this forum,about whether or not I should buy a Leopold I "Hogmouth" kreuzer because I've always wanted one in my collection. http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=14459&highlight=hogmouth For some reason,I never took a really close look at one Austrian 6 Kreuzer coin I already had in my collection...until this evening.For some reason,I never put 2 & 2 together until I took a good look at the ugly mug on this guy.My Hogmouth was right in my own backyard! It is a nicely struck specimen except that it is slightly curved apparently due to a type of "roller die" that they used during this period. Call me stupid but happy:rolling:
What a great specimin mate, must admit to a great deal of ignorance about these LOL but it looks good :thumb: De Orc
Chuckle, I wonder how many misidentified coins there are in other folks collections around the world? Nice HogMouth B
