[QUOTE="khub, post: 48004, member: 2887"]Thanks for a warm welcome :) "the coin has been holed and plugged. You can see the repair work on the reverse and the different metal" Thats an interesting remark. A couple of numismatics have seen the coin, but no one called it that way, strange thing. I really don't know what to think, but it rather seems to me that the piece you take for a plug is an original fragment of the coin that cracked this way. Take a look again at the big crack on the neck, and a similar thing happening a bit down to the left from that. It looks like cracking exactly the same way. Interesting, still! I dont know what the rarity scale is called, but it goes like that: R* = 1 R8 = 2-3 R7 = 4-6 R6 = 7-25 R5 = 26-120 R4 = 121-600 R3 = 601-3000 R2 = 3001-15000 R1 = 15001-80000 R = 80000-400000 - -over 400000 it is a popular scale used in Poland by professional numismatics and in catalogues. I have found out about two appearances of this coin on the market - in 1904 it sold for 295 mark in Poland, and in 1962 at Coin Galleries NY for 520 USD. If you can find anything else - would be great![/QUOTE]
