<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 4599088, member: 102103&quot;]I think so.&nbsp; My 1800s Krause guide says so, as well as... some random Numista</p><p>commenter.&nbsp; The 7 Kreuzer/Kreutzer denomination goes back to at least 1751. </p><p>Back then it was 3.24 g of 0.420 silver.&nbsp; Looks like that series went to 1763, and</p><p>were not overstrikes.&nbsp; The 1802 only are overstrikes on the 1795 debased 12</p><p>kreuzer coins, and are 4.68 g of 0.250 silver, for slightly less (0.0376 vs 0.0427</p><p>ASW) silver content than the older 7 kreuzer series.&nbsp; I believe the overstrikes were</p><p>only made for one year (1802) and that was the end of the 7 kreuzer denomination.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1139032[/ATTACH]</p><p>Oh, and for full disclosure--I didn&#039;t know any of this about the coin when I </p><p>bought it.&nbsp; I only learned it when I was photographing it and doing a little</p><p>research for today&#039;s diary entry.&nbsp; I just bought it because I thought 7 was </p><p>a funny denomination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
