DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 7:23 pm To my eyes, it doesn't have the look of a recent knock-off. These were pretty roughly made, and it could be burial + cleaning added to the roughness. Here's one I have from 1667 with similar details, but maybe a little less porosity.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 05:51 am I am not happy with the surface texture of the fields. If they are as badly marked as they appear to be, why is the detail of the type so well preserved? Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 6:39 pm Just a question first--is this coin in your possession, or are you considering buying it? I ask because I see the same exact coin on ebay. Edited by DVCollector 12/16/2012 6:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 8:06 pm Here's a little more info on this coin series, which confirms my suspicions about the raised streaks often seen in the fields--they are likely due to the effect of the coining stock moving through the roller press, and probably had different wear atrributes than dies. In fact, I have a picture in a book from Denmark showing similar marks caused by roller dies. "These distinctive coins were struck using a roller press - two steel cylinders with obverse dies on 1 and reverse dies on the other. The designs were stamped onto strips of copper. If the rollers didn't align, parts of the design would be missing on the finished coin. This only adds to their classic charm. " Edited by DVCollector 12/16/2012 8:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 11:21 pm Great info DV! Yes, I am considering purchase. I am on the fence. I will have to see how bidding goes. I am terrible at winning auctions. Wanna see my bird imitation?: Cheap, Cheap, Cheap... Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/17/2012 12:29 am Cheap is a good strategy, because presently I think $26 is a bit high because of the harsh cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
