    These lower purity silver coins will often look like copper once worn. I wouldn't have expected it to this degree with a 4 Groschen. They would usually dip the coins in acid, to dissolve away copper and preferentially leave behind silver. That would give them more of a porous silver appearance that disappears as they wear.

    Can you give us the diameter and the weight?

    4.98 grams 25.5 mm...I see what you are saying due to wear the coin is a little smaller in diam. and weight. As far as the date on second look I can barely make out a 7 on the left side of the shield.... Thanks for the explanation... Ray
