The other ? oh also anyone know the dates for the 4 Liard and these others? Thanks again Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 04/16/2010 2:56 pm The first coin is indeed a 2 liard from Liège, struck in the name of prince-bishop John Theodore of Bavaria, just like your 4 liard coin. These coins (both the 2 and 4 liard of this type) were struck in 1750,1751 and 1752. The second coin is a billon 4 soldi from the short lived Republic of Corsica, which lasted under general Pasquale Paoli for 6 years, from 1762 to 1768. In 1768 the island came under control of France. Report this Post to the Staff

bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 04/16/2010 4:05 pm Most of this information comes indeed from the Krause books (there are 5 of them: 1601-1700; 1701-1800; 1801-1900; 1901-2000 and 2001-now), but I do have some additional catalogs for some specific countries (like Spinks catalog of coins of the United Kingdom, Vanhoudt's Atlas of the Belgian coins from celts to now, etc...) After some time of looking at coins, you start to recognize types and countries they could be from. In fact: Our moderator Sap knows a lot more of coins than I do...
