DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 2:15 pm That's a very interesting coin! Does it resemble this one in Krause? Judging by the thickness, it might be a "piedfort"--or a strike on a double-weight planchet--but I don't see this specified. to CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 2:43 pm Update--here's a 1848 10c piedfort/piefort on Heritage auctions that closely resembles your coin. Nice find--where did you get it? Report this Post to the Staff
Gazot Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 3:06 pm Going through my late Dad's collection that hasnt seen human eyes is 22 years. He was a dealer in the 70's and 80's. What I think I am seeing is he had many more foreign coins of value than he ever anticipated. I think since he was pre-internet days there wasnt as much info as there is today (or a market for that matter). I will be posting as I find coins of interest. I have thousands to go through but at least most are already sorted by country and in 2 x 2's. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 3:26 pm I hope there's more finds like this one! Have you found any older (prior to 1800), silver coins from Norway? I know those are worth more than values given in Krause. Report this Post to the Staff
