<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2971388, member: 5233&quot;]I have wanted to pick up a silver coin featuring Frederick the Great for some time.&nbsp; Just, a cheap one to add a little variety and history to my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, I purchased a 1764-F 1/6 Thaler.&nbsp; I bought it for about $10...I don&#039;t know if that&#039;s too much but I felt that $10 for the oldest non-ancient coin in my collection and one that features a monarch I wanted on a coin was worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I don&#039;t know much about these.&nbsp; I sorta bought it as a learning piece too.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was sold as a KM-300 and I didn&#039;t give that too much thought until it arrived.&nbsp; However, the more I look at it the more I&#039;m not sure that&#039;s right.&nbsp; The reverse definitely looks like a KM-300 to me.&nbsp; But the obverse doesn&#039;t.&nbsp; I found an image (below) showing the various obverse images of the KM-299 and to me mine more closely resembles the bottom right &quot;ancient portrait.&quot;&nbsp; Most noticeable for me are the hair curls between 6 and 7 o&#039;clock.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that 1764-F coins of both the KM-299 and the KM-300 types were minted.&nbsp; I have no idea if there was any blending of the designs or what.&nbsp; I have no idea if this is normal for this year...or if it&#039;s a fake...or what?&nbsp; Perhaps I am just totally wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like help identifying exactly what I have so I know how to identify it my records and so I can learn from it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/kfjTLbd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/qzv7BzG.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
