My detecting buddy at work has an old "something or other" that he would like to have ID'd. It looks to have the same design on front and back and it is rather thin. Cant really tell what its made of. Brass or copper maybe.
It does look like a nurenberg, probably a definite German coin. 1400-1600 maybe, I'll check later in my German coin book. I have found a few coins with orbs on them here in Germany. Is it possibly silver? HH, Mike
Oh well.......My buddy was hoping it was a rare old coin and worth alot He said if I could find out what it was and how much it was worth....we both would have a new detector.
Maybe since I have found out what it is......he'll go ahead and buy me a new detector. lol
Mike.......its not silver. It has a brassy look to it.
So Zeke!!!! You and your friends are really finding some cool stuff!!! As soon as I get a day on Saturday we will go down to that place I was telling you about.
I haven't found any bronze German coins to date, are you sure it isn't stained silver? Check out this coin weight I found, at least I think it is a coin weight. It has the same orb as your coin on it. I think it is made of bronze. Will look in the book as well. HH, Mike
