Williamsonj320 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 8:32 pm Been working on a Norwegian type set for a few months now (kind of randomly started collecting Norwegian coins and now I keep finding older coins that I like more and more). Got a few of these from DVCollector, so a big shout out to him for his help! Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 01:53 am Somehow I've missed this thread until now, but a few of these look familiar. Glad you like them--you've collected a nice group! I should have brought back more coins from my last trip to Norway, such as the 20Kr coin with the Viking ship--but I spent them all on gifts. You might enjoy checking out my tour of the Kongsberg Mint Museum. You'll see machinery and dies used to mint some of your coins. Report this Post to the Staff

That's really cool that you have visited Norway, do you go often? I want to visit so bad. Hopefully one day. I enjoyed your post about Kongsberg too, thanks for the link!

So last time I did during the winter, next time I'll go in the summer. Btw, coins of the type you got from me are pretty high in Norway--2-3X my prices. I didn't buy any coins there, but once I got home I picked up a few ones from dealers. I collect Norway from before 1820--I like the handwork on the dies. Report this Post to the Staff
Williamsonj320 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 2:01 pm Very nice! I love the character that older coins have especially with hand details. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 4:36 pm Other than the nice condition, what's interesting about that coin is the lion. My coin has a lion with a longer snout, while all others I've seen resemble the lion below. I have yet to find a match to mine. Edited by DVCollector 01/31/2013 4:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
