IDigHistory New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/07/2011 9:54 pm Any idea of what one of these coins is worth? Or the silver content? A guy offered to sell me one that is pretty culled. But the exact same coin. Its neat. But I dunno if 5$ is worth it. Its dateless. And I know nothing about these. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/07/2011 11:00 pm First of all, welcome to the forum, IDigHistory! My catalog (which by the way has a pic of it) gives the value in VG (lowest available there) condition of $20. It doesn't say the silver content because, I suspect, it wasn't constant. The weight varied as well. I'd say, IDigH, you should ask yourself whether the coin is worth $5 to you! If you find it attractive, as a numismatic and historic piece, and if shelling out a $5 not a very big deal, go for it. If you're interested in it as an investment or just for its silver content, then I'd look for a more secure deal. Report this Post to the Staff
IDigHistory New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 12:14 am I am interested in both aspects of it. I love coins period. Silver is just my favorite metal. But if the coin was only worth its weight in silver, I wont pay over that was really my point. 5 is fair for the history. But. Again. I dunno much about this odd coin. Never saw one before. I will buy it. I can afford it. And maybe you can help me get it sorted so I know the details so I can stick it in a nice case. Culled or not. I love old coins. Thanks for the Welcome BTW. I will get more active soon. I run a website and silk screen business. and I am always behind on forums. This one looked to be the best choice. Lots of good info on here. Thanks for your help.

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 01:50 am I'll give you the info that I can scrape. The denomination is 1/2 Guillio, or Grosso. Was minted in Pisa which was under the Tuscan Grand Dukes. This type was minted 1714 through 1737, under the rule of Cosimo III de'Medici, 1670-1723, and Gian Gaston, 1723-1737. Pisan cross is on the obverse, and Madonna on the reverse. Weight of the silver coin varies 1.20 - 1.39 g. throughout the years of issue. That's all I can tell you. Report this Post to the Staff
