<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 280421, member: 6370&quot;]You paid a fair price for that coin, I see them cheaper and more expensive so...the crossed swords means it was minted by Meissen porcelain works. It might even be a more valuable version of the coin as the detail looks a bit softer and when they started minting these, they started making molds by hand (solfter details) and began later using machine with hard dies which caused them to look much more angular. The brown procelain was minted for circulation, white less so...so that might be the case here...of course the porcelain experiment didnt work as peoples money cracked, they were not happy but they took off as collectors items and were popular in the day...they minted coins and medals in porcelain up until WWII...mostly as novelties. This company still makes porcelain and the crossed swords is considered the oldest trademark in the world. Not long ago they had a showing of the coins they minted on contract to the government... Nice notgeld coin...I love these so if it were me I would grab the others <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Notgeld still is rather cheap on the whole which is good for cheap collectors...I think that will change...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW...I just have a small fraction of my notgeld up right now...it just takes a lot of time to do each one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
