<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 5285177, member: 102103&quot;]Got these 3 this week.&nbsp; All are worn enough to test my power of imagination, but moving the light around to try to catch the details, I think I have a good guess on the ruler, date and mint marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Left:&nbsp; Louis XIII, 1617 A (Paris), Double Tournois 20 mm, 2.12 g</p><p>Right:&nbsp; Louis XVI, 1993 T (Nantes), 12 Deniers, 28 mm, 10.64 g (clipped?)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1221570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1221571[/ATTACH] </p><p>Righthand one is post-Revolution, which narrows it down a lot.&nbsp; Oddly for a copper, the edges look to have been clipped a bit.&nbsp; The edge should be well past the text, but here, the text is almost half gone.&nbsp; France had a lot of inflation in the early years of the Revolution with the whole <i>assignat</i> fiasco, so maybe even copper coins were clipped a bit if they were more valuable than comparable paper money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below:&nbsp; Austrian Netherlands, 1749, Antwerp (hand mintmark), 22 mm, 3.11 g</p><p>I think this is the Maria Theresa with the pearl necklace (I can barely see some dots on the neckline for the pearls), which would make it <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15310.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15310.html" rel="nofollow">1749-52</a>.&nbsp; Of those, the third digit looks like a 4 to me, which would narrow it to 1749.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse:&nbsp; &quot;AD&nbsp; USUM&nbsp; BELGII&nbsp; AUSTR·&nbsp; 17[??]&quot;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1221572[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1221573[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I don&#039;t expect coins like these to have much resale value in this condition, but it&#039;s still fun to try and puzzle out what they are.&nbsp; ~$10 for the lot of there, so I didn&#039;t have much to lose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
