As no photos are appearing, here's one to look at for the time being. Probably shipwreck.   It surprises me how many different crown-sized coins the Netherlands produced.Rijders, leeuwendaalders, silver ducats (leg daalders), rix daalders, plus 9 other local variants. All slightly different weights and compositions, produced by several mints. https://coins.nd.edu/colcoin/colcoi...chCoins.html"Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

I can do a little better, most of those I own or have owned are here: https://www.youtube.com/user/bamacre1/videosMy most recent acquisition is a 1785 West Friesland NGC MS63 which I haven't photographed yet. Doing so is on my to-do list, I'll try to remember posting the results here. |

For modern coins, I usually have them slabbed myself. For older coins like these I tend to find them already slabbed.

I am asking because I have seen many ducats and ducatons for sale on MA-Shops, but most are raw and many seem cleaned to me. I think they would not pass the TPG test. |

I've seen them, too, and I absolutely agree. I've purchased two older raw coins, that I can think of, from ma-shops, the gold 6 Stuivers coin I have on youtube, and an 1850 France 5 francs, which came back MS63. I've never purchased a raw Ducaton to get graded.

Yeah, was watching that Silver Rider. Beautiful coin but way out of my budget.

I've seen it and passed. Would surely like to see it in person.

No, but I would like to. I've heard great things about it.
