It's a really cool coin and appeared to maybe have mint errors on reverse. Hoping for some information/"IMO's" without removing from sleeve. but will ask if need be. And merry christmas & happy hanukkah!!! Report this Post to the Staff

silvering Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 12/25/2022 3:52 pm Ondiwave, That is a nice coin. 1698 Austrian Silver 1 Thaler. There is info at this link on Coinscatalog.net: https://coinscatalog.net/austria/co...dart-coinage I don't understand what you are referring to when you say the coin is "curved". The reverse has what appears to be some post mint damage "IMHO". Maybe you could post some close up shots of what you believe are "mint errors". Merry Christmas to you and everyone here.

I remember because I helped ID it via Google reverse image search. That hanging ram at the lower reverse is what jogged my memory. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread. silvering, see "roller press" in the following article. https://www.britannica.com/topic/co...dern-minting Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Ondiwave Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 12:57 pm @silvering Here is what I saw: The yellow shows what think is maybe a die break & the blue shows unevenness that would have resulted from die break vs post mint damage. IMNO (N-newbie) lol The next shows a pic offline vs this coin. It appears to be off center. Thanks!! Edited by Ondiwave 12/27/2022 1:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
