New Silver Ahoy!

in #steemsilvergold • 5 years ago

Looksee what I just found in my local antiques cave...

So apparently this is a Maria Theresia Thaler. These coins continued to be struck after her death in 1780... and if I've understood correctly, the x after the date means that this was a restrike.

Anyway, they were minted all over the place, and as yet I've not got enough experience to figure out where... but if you know, I'd love to find out. These are bullion coins and as far as I can tell they have about .71 troy ounces of silver per coin... I think... I'm getting discombobulated by all the info out there!

Please holler if you know more! Evie x

    Thanks! I wasn't sure but I was really drawn to it... he wasn't asking much so I figured I'd go for it as I like it as an object anyway :)

        Thanks very much! The dealer was very dismissive of it, but I kind of felt drawn to it anyway so decided to bring it home with me. Not sure it's worth much in terms of coin collecting but would love to find out more about it.

            This is beautiful. Usually I am not into the old coins. I don’t know why (probably I am just a weirdo 😂). But this is really appealing. What a great find!

            Haha... I'm sure you're not a weirdo!!! Old coins win over new coins for me... each to their own and what makes collecting so interesting I think! But I do agree... there's something about this coin that meant I couldn't leave it behind. E x
