bluewideglide New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 3:11 pm Here is a little 14mm coin I can't identify. A lot of the detail is gone but the date is pretty visible. Anyone recognize the coin. Thanks Edited by bluewideglide 04/12/2017 8:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 4:17 pm Interesting coin. Not sure if the date is correct. How do you know it is Silver? Report this Post to the Staff
bluewideglide New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 4:21 pm The date is a lot clearer looking at the coin and honesty not sure it's silver but it looks like every other old silver coin I have. Report this Post to the Staff
Coconutjoe Pillar of the Community United States 1475 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 8:22 pm It looks like possibly "German States Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel" coin, but date does not match, 1786? Can you double check the date? I can't make it out from the picture. Another possibility is a Colonial coin. Many had that inner circular design.

bluewideglide New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 8:34 pm Could be 1726 Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 9:14 pm I am thinking it is 1 kruezer from the German state Pfalz-Electoral Pfalz, which were made from 1720 to 1729. So that would make it 1726. Link! https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1407475 Edited by Joseph7420 04/12/2017 9:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
bluewideglide New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 9:29 pm I think it's close however the size of the coin fits better with KM 276. The coin is about 14.5mm. Guess that's close enough for me. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 10:23 pm I doubt a 2 millimetre difference would be that important; older coins seem less consistent with their sizes, and maybe the many people who have handled this coin had something to do with it. Looking specifically at KM#276, the mint mark is located beneath the design on the side without the lion, which I do not see on your coin. Plus, if you can see the last digit of the date as a six, it also means it would not be KM#276. Edited by Joseph7420 04/12/2017 10:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
