<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 189554, member: 283&quot;]I&#039;m not particularly well versed on the subject of Rechenpfennings so there&#039;s very little more that i can add.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as i&#039;m aware the vast majority of `rechenpfennigs&#039; of that era were produced in Nuremberg by Laufer and to order. Most designs were `one off&#039; and very limited in quantity. While `rarity&#039; helps define `value&#039;, other factors also apply.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The number that still survive (relative rarity).</p><p>2. The condition of the individual piece</p><p>3. Any specific historical significance / art work</p><p>4. The number of collectors of these pieces who are actively looking for one at any given moment in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I don&#039;t know the answer to 1, 3, and 4,&nbsp; I can say that your particular piece has seen much better days. Probably the best reference source for you would be Michael Mitchiner&#039;s&nbsp; `Jetons, Medalets and Tokens&#039; volume 1. It has a section on Nuremberg jetons, and yours might be referenced, I don&#039;t know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
