Sap Moderator Australia 17006 Posts	Posted 11/06/2008 8:02 pm You don't have to start a new thread - click on "reply to topic" instead of typing into the quick reply box, and you'll come up with a screen that has "insert picture" again. Here's the pic of the other side, from the other thread (which will eventually be deleted): 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.

Sap Moderator Australia 17006 Posts	Posted 11/06/2008 8:13 pm As KurtS said, it's a 1/6th ore from Sweden. It's listed in my 1600's Krause catalogue as KM# 254. My catalogue is fairly old now (2003), and gives a value for 1668 of $5 in VG, $20 in Fine. It's difficult to judge the condition of your coin from those photos, but it's probably somewhere in that range. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 11/06/2008 8:14 pm I shouldn't have responded in two places so I'll again offer this tentative ID: Sweden 1668 1/6 Ore. Oops...Sap beat me to it! Here's my 1667 1/6 ore as verification: Edited by KurtS 11/06/2008 8:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
