HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25180 Posts	Posted 11/13/2025 1:28 pm It looks like a Netherlands East Indies Duit. Maybe this one from West Friesland: https://en.numista.com/3442 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB 11/13/2025 1:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 11/13/2025 5:01 pm These coins are sometimes marketed as "New York Pennies", in the hope that this will convince American collectors to pay more for them. But they don't really have anything to do with colonial America, they were struck by the Dutch *East* India Company, for use in what is now Indonesia, not the Dutch West India Company which ran the Dutch colonies in the Americas. Any such coins that happened to make their way to the Americas would have been incidental and very small in number, and would have arrived long after the British took over New Amsterdam in 1664 and renamed it New York. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 11/13/2025 9:05 pm Pay attention to the interesting privy mark on your coin, and you can narrow the date range down to a decade (though I think you can also see remnants of a couple of digits).

CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 11/23/2025 7:43 pm I swear I can see a "73" in the middle. So 173_? Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 11/24/2025 11:18 am Yep (i.e., NOT paredolia). The turnip privy mark was used 1729-1737. Those faint digits could also be consistent with 178-, but not the turnip. Edited by tdziemia 11/24/2025 11:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
