CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 10:16 pm This is my first 1700's coin. I buy in the US area, so this is an unusual pickup for me. Yes, it's got corrosion and it's not in good shape, but I dug it out of a big box of random coins for only $3. The prices on the US 1700's coins are way out of my price range, so this was a nice way to get a coin from that time period. Thanks! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 02/04/2020 5:20 pm that is a super pickup for a coin bin in the US, @coinhunter. There is some nice history to this coin. You can see on the front the legend AVGVSTVS III REX POL, and on the reverse EL SAX 1755. Between 1697 amd 1763, Poland-Lithuania was ruled by elected kings who were from Saxony (Germany). They held positions as both King of Poland-Lithuania and Elector of Saxony. The coat of arms shows the Polish eagle in two of the quadrants, the Lithuanian knight in two of the quadrants, and the Saxony shield in the middle. You can see all the legends and details just fine on your coin. This king was the first to issue this denomination in copper. Previously this denomination was made in silver or silver alloy. If you want to move your collection backward in time even further, there are lots of possibilities for coins under $10. In the 1600s, you can find a small silver Polish coin called a poltorak (dates between 1620 and 1624 are the most common, I think). In the 1500s, you can find Hungary denars. Probably not in a bin in a coin shop, but on ebay for sure. Other world coin collectors out here could make other suggestions. Edited by tdziemia 02/04/2020 5:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 02/04/2020 9:25 pm Wow thanks for all the information! You gave me some things to think about. I may attempt a 1600's coin at some point if I can find one at a good price. For now, I am quite happy with this coin. Thanks again! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 02/04/2020 11:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
