<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 138321, member: 283&quot;]When you spot something like you have it can be really frustrating trying to get to the bottom of it. The main reason is that the source references just don&#039;t exist, or as so expensive that ordinary collectors like me just couldn&#039;t afford them just to cover the odd variant that shows up every now and again.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you probably know, there are similarities between the coinage of Brun. Lun etc and Brun. Wolf. The number of die varieties that exist would need a book in its own right just to cover it. Couple that with the potential for dies from one to be used for the other (to save having to make new dies to replace worn ones for example) and the possibilities for variation are huge.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have one of many such variations. Now....how `common&#039; is your variation? Well i haven&#039;t a clue. I suspect most ordinary collectors wouldn&#039;t either. After all, there aren&#039;t exactly 100&#039;s of 1737 WM pfennigs on sale at any given moment in time. Is it `valuable&#039;? It vwery possibly is to someone who collects these in accordance with the number of pine trees either side of the club he&#039;s carrying or similar....but to the average collector, I would doubt it very much. However like you i&#039;d definitely want to be sure about that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The best people to help you on this would be the likes of Nurnberger Munzauctionen (info@schimmer.de) or Kricheldorf (coins@kricheldorf.de) or some other german based auction house who is more likely to have the reference materials on hand (if such exist). If nothing else, they will be able to advise you whether or not you have a national treasure in your possession and can even get your coin to the attention of potential buyers. Worth making a few email enquiries. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Happy hunting!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
