JonS.7070 Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 09/04/2008 9:32 pm I was lucky enough to purchase 46 foreign coins yesterday, which I know absolutely nothing about! The coins are amazing, I feel the darkside force pulling me closer! I beleive they are mostly German coins, but there are lots others too. I will be posting them up as I take pictures. Any help identifying them would be great! Here is one to start with. It has some wild color to it and the reverse is full of mint luster. I took a few different pics to try to show the luster.

There appears to be copper sulfate (that blue/green color) on the coin. These would have been silver// #3 - not found #4 German States = Frankfurst 1 Thaler Km#360 mintage 2.7M Hope this helps and still looking Edited by wwhitman 09/05/2008 12:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
JonS.7070 Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 09/05/2008 01:34 am I was thinking the same thing about the 1758 coin. There isn't a trace of copper on the coin though. It looks like verdigris. Here is another one. Report this Post to the Staff

JonS.7070 Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 09/05/2008 09:16 am As soon as I get more photos taken I will post them later today after work. Thanks for the kind words and help identifying them. I paid 400$ for the whole group of 46 coins. There are alot more coins I need to photograph! I never new foreign coins would be so exciting and attractive. Report this Post to the Staff
Jays-Dad Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 09/05/2008 09:53 am I am in shock. If you are not a foreign collector, what are you doing spending $400 on them (where I come from $400 is a LOT of money)!! These are really nice coins though, so if the rest are in the same ballpark, it feels like a good deal. Report this Post to the Staff
