yugotex Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 07/07/2022 1:47 pm Haven't posted in awhile but, seems like whenever I do, there's always someone with an answer. In this case, here's a 1853 Swiss Rappen. There are two varieties. The thick cross is common with a cat value of $160 in XF. The thin cross is RARE with an XF value of $3000. So, the question is, which is this one. Your input most appreciated. Rod in TX Report this Post to the Staff

Visual comparison with other rappen and dates suggest OP's example is thin cross. Specialist *Swiss Coin Catalog 1798-2008* confirms the pricing differential between 1853 rappen with thin and thick cross. Report this Post to the Staff
