Both are F at best, but these have high demand. I don't know what eBay would sell for but my local dealer got a few in looking like yours, he paid $900 each and sold them for $1100, so I would assume each is worth between $900 and $1100 depending on dealer buy/cost.

Good start!

I have a half roll of duplicate wheats (some early dates like 1920 and 1921) and a 3/4 roll of memorial cents in AU/BU.

Email me your address and I'll send to you for free.

I got a low-grade no D off of ebay for under $100.


I've seen these also, but many times I think they are weak D's or someone just wore off the D off of a 1922 D.

My example above was for a graded one. I wouldn't feel comfortable buying one raw. This is easy to fake and in low grade its hard to tell if its real or a strong reverse that the D was removed.

Look at the NGC Picture. Several details are different from the coin listed on ebay.

https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/../NGCDetails/

The lion and the R at 3 o clock are different.

If that is the coin on ebay, I would pass. Looks too different for me.

So what did you use to fill in the 1922 plain?


The 7100 has 1922 weak D that came in the Raymond Waite album I purchased. The 7103 has a really nice wheat cent that I out in reverse side out.

I've been tempted to get a 1922 no D, but for the $400/$600 a low grade one will cost, I'll just pass. You can find Weak D that shows no sign of the D naked eye for around $100-$200.

I have 2 complete sets of the Lincoln cents.

There are a few expensive coins like the:
1909 S
1911 S
1914 D
1924 D
1931 S

I don't do varieties so I skipped the 1922 (no d).

You can see my 2 sets here.

Great story. And apparently, the monarchies of Portugal and Belgium are intimately related. Both had/have a Saxe-Coburg on the throne.


Ed,

Read this:

A lot of the monarchies in the 1800-1900 were interrelated. Prince Albert was a heavy influence in marriage and partnerships.

Only final thing.

The 1000 Reis Coin would be become 1 escudo. Based on the exchange rate at the time of Conversion to the Euro, you need 2 of these coins to equal 1 Euro cent, or 200 of them to equal 1 Euro.

Thanks guys, Portuguese Monarchy Gold coins are now a bargain as the price of gold is the majority of the value. Many have not risen in cost even though gold has shot up. There is little numismatic premium unless the coin is high mint state (which many of these are not)

A little history on Pedro V.

Pedro (16 September 1837 - 11 November 1861) was the oldest son of Queen Maria II and King Ferdinand II. When his mom died in 1853, Pedro was made the King of Portugal until 1861. As Peter was not yet 18, his father ( Ferdinand Saxe Coburg) ruled until Peter turned 18. On 29 April 1858 at the age oft 20 he married Prinzessin Stefanie von Hohenzollern Sigmaringen. The marriage lasted a year until Queen Stephanie died from diphtheria.

Peter was a conscientious and hard-working monarch who, under the guidance of his father, sought radical modernisation of the Portuguese state and infrastructure. Under his reign, roads, telegraphs, and railways were constructed and improvements in public health advanced. His popularity increased when, during the cholera outbreak of 1853-1856, he visited hospitals handing out gifts and comforting the sick.

But Peter also regarded Portugal as backward, corrupt and in desperate need of modernisation. He despaired/disdained his subjects, and held contempt for the politicians, who were, in his opinion, "of such an inefficient breed that he was obliged to intervene". He had a volatile temper and reacted immaturely to criticism.

In short, Peter was a monarch who meddled in politics too often, was too suspicious of those around him and, to a certain degree, disdained his subjects. Yet, he was undeniably gifted, which, far from improving his situation, made it all the more difficult. He had a brilliant mind with liberal views in an unstable and backward Country.

Pedro V, along with his brothers Fernando and João and other royal family members, died of typhoid fever or cholera in 1861.

He has also been on the 1000 Escudos note.



After he died, his brother Luis 1 took over.

If Pedro V had lived there were expectations that he would changed Portugal for the better but he didn't live long enough to make any major changes and his brothers used the crown for personal gain (and many affairs) rather than the good Portugal. The 1800's was a bad time for Portugal, due to the ongoing battles between the liberals and monarchists and the ineffective monarchy.

Finally had some time. I've been busy, we spent Saturday cleaning up the garden and then we did mulch and planted some early spring flowers and bulbs.

Sunday was our 30th wedding anniversary, so we had a date.

But the important part, here is the coin.





The coin is tiny.

Hi Steve,

I'll try to take pictures tomorrow. I've been busy at work and with errands that I haven't been able to get the good light to take a picture. The coin is also really small that when I set up today, I had the wrong lens and bad light so I decided to just do it tomorrow.
