oimcoins Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 02/25/2010 6:03 pm I take that back. It is Sweden. It has a Mintage of 641,000 According to Krause Book. KM 564 VG $2.50 F $5.00 VF $12 XF $30 1807 has the lowest mintage of this series(1802-08, except for 1808 Wide Crown (roughly double the prices listed here)), and therefore the highest price Edited by oimcoins 02/25/2010 6:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16925 Posts	Posted 03/07/2010 08:21 am Sorry for the delayed reply... I somehow missed this one. Quote: Are they copper? Yes. The "skilling" was originally a large silver coin, equivalent to an English shilling, but a general lack of silver in Scandinavia coupled with a series of costly wars caused the skilling to suffer from inflation during from the 1500s to the 1700s. By the 1800s it was a purely copper coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
