Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 8:11 pm Bought a lot of European coins today as culls (and priced accordingly), of which quite a few were from various German states. Here's some of the better ones. I think I know what a few are, the rest I'll have to research unless somebody wants to identify them. The one at the upper left looks to be actually a medal of some sort. These were all supposed to be coppers/bronzes but the lower left and lower right ones would seem to be silver.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/15/2016 12:41 am Some very nice coins there for a cull lot! Bottom right does have my interest. Is that a 1/21 thaler? 1763? Could be something very special. The rest are reasonably common-ish, probably in the $3-15 range each for value. Sounds like you might have done quite well on this lot.

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 04/15/2016 06:08 am Nice group of german state divisionary coins. The top row are obviously Baden, Prussia and Braunschweig. Middle row are Nassau, Prussia and Rostock. The bottom row middle is a Sachsen Meiningen issue I think, the Schilling is a Prussia issue for East Prussia.

I think you mean bottom left. It may look like a "21" but it's in fact a "24" and I can't see any date on it at all. Quote: Sounds like you might have done quite well on this lot. At well less than $1 each, it was pretty much a no-brainer. Thank you, GERMANICVS, for the identifications. Here's one last specimen that I had overlooked - Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 04/15/2016 4:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Potsdam Valued Member Germany 303 Posts	Posted 04/15/2016 4:00 pm For 1$ each that was quite a bargain. I especially like the prussian schilling. It somehow looks nicely raw. The 1/24 Prussian Thaler with no date being visible was likely minted between 1753 and 1763. The date should be below the denomination and in my opinion it looks like a 6 down there so the only year this coin was minted with a 6 in it is 1763. Plus: This type of 1/24 thaler is one of the better types. The type you have posted from 1782 is quite common, especially here in Germany ;) Nice coins! Report this Post to the Staff
