I am guessing the 1856 A 2½ Silber Groschen - Friedrich Wilhelm IV, KM #463.


That guess is also incorrect.

Oh, that's where I got mixed up. I was thinking in my mind that the diameter of this coin was between 18 and 20mm. I was thinking I had a 1 in 5 chance.

Oh well, someone's bound to get it now anyhow.

Was this silbergroschen minted in Prussia?


Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't all coins with an A mint mark minted in Berlin and therefore Prussia?

Great effort on tracking down a German coin. Proves it can be done.

Oh dear, it was just a matter of probability; one of us was going to get it sooner or later .......

Lets see, which coin I will choose....

If hints can be given...

Size matters is the hint on the coin I have...

(I might be a tad bit more sporadic on my responses due to what I do, but I will try my best )

On that, I have a coin ...

Congrats mrwhatisit.

Now if size matters, let's start there.

Is this coin less than 20mm in diameter?
