I like an old Austrian coins. Because it"s so pretty! And I want to share my collection with you, gentlemans.
I like your Maria Theresa! Lots of character Is that a "K" mintmark that I see on its reverse? Here is a 1763 Maria Theresa Poltura that I posted yesterday. A specimen of the type that I posted was discovered while excavating a historical site in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. The discovery provided proof that indeed a Maria Theresa Poltura was in actual circulation during U.S. Colonial times!Same link: http://www.cointalk.com/t102976/
