throughtheireyes Valued Member 477 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 03:19 am I bought this a while back and forgot to write down the info I was told about it. I believe it's a Polish Grosz. Can someone who knows these coins maybe help with the date and how bad does the missing piece hurt the value? Thanks in advance, Blair Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 03:53 am I have no idea of value but it's 1624 and Poland-Danzig. I'm not sure of the denomination. My guess is one Grosz, but I'm completely unfamiliar with the system.

throughtheireyes Valued Member 477 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 03:59 am I'm going blind... as soon as I read your post I looked close at the photo and saw the date! I knew it was 1 Grosz it was the date and verification it was Poland-Danzig that I was seeking and maybe an idea of value. Thank you so much for your fast reply! Blair Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 5:54 pm 1 Grosz / Sigismund III. 1624. Gdansk (Danzig) issue. Obv: SIGIS:III.D.G.REX.POL.D.PR. = Sigismund III by the Grace of God King of Poland and Duke of Prussia Rev: GROSSVS.CIVI:GEDANENSIS.1624 = Grosz / Groschen, City of Gdansk / Danzig, 1624. Krause lists $16 in VG and $55 in VF. I would grade yours gF-aVF or possibly a full VF with the corollary that the planchet is notched. Be careful not to bend it or press on it firmly as it is probably quite brittle.

I put it in a 2x2 and put it in a sleeve on a 20 coin page. That should be safe for it no? Report this Post to the Staff
