<p>[QUOTE="moneycostingmemoney, post: 2791939, member: 86367"]Nice! I'm going to have that war on the list for my next area of research. I just need to get through about 8-10 more crusties/sandies before I pile any more work on myself. And thank you for referencing Bobs post- I saw that thread but before the list was posted. Thanks again!</p><p>From what I found about this coin itself it was made of an alloy very low in silver, and then had silver crudely added to its surface to dress it up a bit (I want to say clad, but I cannot find the term that was used in my research about the process they used to resurface the coin with silver). These were roller pressed and it's more common to find examples that have the obverse or reverse grossly misaligned because of that style of minting. I guess to the Swedes it was more about function than form in regards to this series of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
