pre 1501 AD coins with dates

That 1885 piece has seen some "action". I may be wrong, but
I can't think of another date in any series where there were less
business strikes made compared to proofs. Almost 25% fewer.
If this was a charm, I hope the wearer faired better than the coin.

Right now I think I would like to get a decent coin showing lots of roman numerals if not a lot of money. I can't start collecting them. My holed sets keep me busy enough at this time in life. Another few hundred coins and I won't be so busy.

 

The 85 is 'the' key. Must sign-off tonight. Until tomorrow.

 

From the Meran mint. The date is at 6 o'clock.

 

From the Wiener Neustadt mint.

 

From the Graz mint. With the entire coin possible the corrosion
happens to be at the date.

 

Also from the Wiener Neustadt mint. These Austrian pieces are rough
but rare. This is a duplicate. Just wasn't paying attention.

 

From the Robert Levinson collection. I'm having a tough time
seeing the date myself.

 

Is the 6 at about 2?

 

Yes I believe it is. One day I will send a pic to
Bob and ask for assistance.

 

A weisspfennig from the Riehl mint. These coins are an interesting series.
When the centers are well struck they show well. It's a shame this isn't
one of those pieces.

 

A weisspfennig from the Coblenz mint. This is bit better struck than
the 1449 I-87.

 

From the Riehl mint. I hope to find one with a better date.

 

From the Riehl mint. Over all a pleasing piece. From
the Cervin collection.

 

From the Bacharach mint. This one isn't to bad.

 

This one from the Riehl mint. Two flan cracks and neither one
effects the date. Maybe my luck has turned.

 

This one from the Coblenz mint.

 

From the Bacharach mint. Relatively well struck.
One of my favorites from the dated Weisspfennig
series. They started making these without dates
in the mid 1300's. The first with a date is from 1425.

 

From the Bingen mint. My luck has changed for the worse
again. A flan crack, though small, at the date. Relatively
well struck.

 

This one from the Riehl mint. A rather nice piece.
