echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/28/2009 4:45 pm Interseting coin this is a 1/6 Thaler of Elizabeth the Emperess of Russia (1741-1761) issued as special coinage for East Prussia Germany. One listed in coin archives sold for $400 US, yours based on condition might bring half that. Edited by echizento 05/28/2009 4:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 09/28/2009 5:04 pm valdiman Very nice coin. However, I believe it is not Real. I think you have a Contemporary Circulating Counterfeit made in a very early version of Sheffield Plate. This process involved creating a metal sandwich consisting of two thin layers of silver with a core layer of off metal. Over time the silver layers got thinner. Here I see a very thick (which means early) Sheffield Plate. Here is why: There are two features - first the corrosion at the upper edge which clearly shows the outer layers. Second are the bubbles in the outer layers caused by subsurface corrosion. The rarity of this coin is GREAT. I have never seen one, but the number of collectors interested is small. I think it would bring about $50 - at least from a specialist like myself who is only interested in it as a TYPE coin. Report this Post to the Staff
