Quote: I like that one- it's simple, but nice looking. A lot of Portuguese coins are nice looking, even up to the modern era, even including a few of the Euros.

I never got to see it in the first place- it may be too late, though, unless he can get it up before someone else posts.

Thank you for that!  A lot of lovey specimens all through the 18th century thus far.

Lots of nice pieces for 1749. Note 1. Jbuck, when do you think the fourth edition will begin? Note 2. Petrus, what is your avatar coin?

Probably in January so I can call it "How far back can we go? Fourth Edition - 2016!"  Hopefully before then the Second Edition will have caught the original thread. When that happens we will have de facto duplicate threads, so I will lock the original thread and point it to the Second. Of course, I am sure the Second Edition will stall at 1494 as the original has. This will means the Third Edition will be the only active thread, making room for a Fourth Edition.

All right. One per year sounds good to me. It seems that these threads move so fast- it doesn't feel like 150 days since I found this edition around 1900!

I hadn't posted on CCF since the 15th of April (and hadn't logged in since 17th of April) - that's just barely under half a year - but when I realized that this thread is reaching 1749, I decided that I couldn't miss the opportunity. I've been planning on returning anyway. So without further ado (whatever that means): German States, Wied-Neuwied. (Ausbeute) 1/4 stuber. 1749.  The above is one of the lowest-grade identifiable coins in my collection (there are some that might perhaps be lower). It is also one of the most exotic and unusual coins in my collection (both for being from a small HRE-era German state, and for the whole "ausbeute" thing). You can just about see the 49 of the date (lower right on second photo), and nearly the full legend (as much as there is one). You can't really see much of anything else. You probably can't see anything but the denticles (and a bunch of corroded metal) on the first photo, but, to be fair, neither can I  There's actually quite a nice scene supposed to be pictured on that type. Almost none of it remains in this grade; I suppose it could be there in spirit  (for the record, that square and triangle is a well with a bucket in it). Incidentally, the Numista number is 71086. If the type is also in other catalogues, I'm not sure in which ones specifically.
