No the Austro Hungarian empire was always quite large covering most of the Balkans as well I think they then invaded parts of poland I think ??/could be wrong in the 18th and continued a powerful seat with a few revolutions in the 19th C . It was the seat of the Holy Roman Empire with the Habsburgs from the 14th C . and after the war the multiple principalities of Germany and Prussia were broken up I think. I am sure it all got a bit confusing during the Napoleonic wars. Not helped earlier I am sure by the cutting the head of Marie Antoinette an austrian archduchess.

I purchased a 1862 A mintmark recently and rather than bothering to get it be disappointed I thought it easier to just ask the seller....it was a very well sculpted bit of FLUFF in just the right place. -

yes I bid on it originally thinking it to be a mule then realised it was likely a mix up it was a bit confusing though as the coins looked "burnt" I did ask the seller they said not. I asked for a better image and they sent one I think -
Austria, Belgium; Denmark;France; Germany; Greece; Hungary Italy; Spain;Sweden; Switzerland;Portugal; and Britain seem to be the only european issues

dangerous things referendums.... (I am assuming named after Kitchener in memory of his death in 1916) bit ironic really to name it after Kitchener was one of the main proponents of the concentration camps in the Boer War ....still I suppose in the hands of the "victors" such things become an irrelevant part of history at least a city might be said to have a mix of meanings and inhabitants that are for and against any policies .....it becomes much easier to examine an individuals life.

yes very true these kind of anti country hatreds last hundreds of years . Many Afrikaners still have a dislike of the English because of the Boer War feelings run deep of the concentration Camps of families..... so a rejection of all things German that soon after the first and second World wars is unsurprising.

Yes I am sure the war and anti German thinking especially the Nurmburg connection resulted in a mass dumping. I was thinking the other day why it would be that there are no Dutch lauer coins. Or Netherlands more accurately.

Last night a small Lauer toy coin box for the United States sold for £160 . Admittedly is is very rare I have asked the seller permission to use the photos I'll add later. Clearly there are collectors willing to pay high prices.

does anyone have a copy of this Book Counterfeit Copper Coins by R Coleman does anyone know if a digital version is available also please Many thanks
-
Thank you to those of you who made positive comment on this I now have a copy of Coleman's book which has helped with my knowledge of my counterfeit collection.

these are a funny group of new Lauer imitations of his imitations ...I suppose you know you have been successful when people try to copy your work clearly pretty badly ! 535b ??? Original Lauer 535 appears to have a different bust in the section on imitation lauer in Rogers page 68 and I have attempted to cross reference with the collection in the Fitzwilliam Museum but they have no catalogue numbers that relate to the text , shame really but I suppose finding someone to do it might be a little monotonous
-
People have suggested a link with Lauer in the production of J Cooke half sovereigns because of the damage on the O of SOV reading SCO I am not sure this its the evidence I have listed below he typical SCVEREIGN SCO error and the John Cooke seen often ...the damage to the O is very different
-
well whatever these are the inner circle is intact
-
Thank you I Thought that might be the case but wanted to check ...
-
I also would like your advise on this Heaton 1881 . I was wondering if this is unusual to you experts ? The H is very high into the date...I have never seen this referenced anywhere but please let me know your thoughts. I thought at first it was a BP 1881 Hb the highest I have seen it is in BP 1882 Ma ...thank you
-
Coin A 1861 1861 B the leaf is half lost or is this simply wear? 1861 C this one I only have this image as it has not been delivered yet
-
ok thank you I find nomenclature in all these varieties (especially 1861) a little difficult (still I suppose I should be careful! admitting that on here )
-
Could you please tell me.... this is Obverse VI F with reverse VI f ? If this the only obverse that has this missing leaf in that position? I ask because I have three examples where the leaf is either missing or weak on other obverse types
-
They only made the half Sov John Cooke .....It was an advertising token of sorts I think

I think the problem with the other denominations below the 12 pennies make one shilling is the age 1840s and the size shilling is 13mm;sixpence 10mm; groat 8mm; farthing 11.5mm. I am sure they got easily lost. Rogers says that they are reported to have presented in a wire mesh bag. Page 31 section 09 the reference taken from Magney. I'm not sure if any examples are extant.

LOL well myth and etymology ...sometimes these things can stick around for decades before they are applied..... I am going to stick with coins ....even if toys...as the source .... I am in need of the half crown and the Crown and half Sov well quite a lot of them really LOL perhaps I shall not bother too much with them....
