Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 08:37 am First off, what I can relate with some certainty about this piece: dated 1625, denominated at 1/96th of a thaler, a bit over 16mm in diameter, weight .77 of a gram. Composition appears to be silver, fineness undetermined. I believe this is an issue of some German city or state, but I just can't determine which one. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 09:20 am This coin has the same overall design but the detail is different. I am not one to say if that difference is enough to make it suspect or if it is simply a different die. EDIT: to add- I found a few online auctions with the same detail as your coin. Looks good. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces133484.html Edited by BigSilver 08/06/2019 09:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 9:43 pm Thank you, folks. The Numista Rarity index is shown as 100! Really? With almost a half million struck, I can't imagine it could be even slightly scarce, nearly 4 centuries having gone by notwithstanding. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 10:22 pm The Numista rarity index is tricky. It represents how many members of that site have this coin in their collection. That is generally a good indication of how rare the item is, but it could be misleading at times.
