Didn't know where to put this one, So I'll just post it. It's not real pretty but it is a wonderful old lion. This, by Philips calculation is a 1/16 Thaler 23mm silver. I think it is KM 150 but don't have that century catalog. Just got it in the mail.

Bavaria, 15 kreuzer, 1718. KM150, silver.

My Second Edition catalog has it at $15 VG / $30 F / $60 VF / $120 XF.

I'd put it in the G+ to VG range. Neat coin.

A very cool coin, even in lower grade.

Why so low? To me looks a dirty Fine....

Maybe I need to practice my grading skills

LordM,, Thanks for the additional info. I got this one for $17 Del. So I guess I paid ballpark for it, but the lion was worth it, a fine example that is evenly worn without any heavy contact marks or corrosion. A Great addition to any collection
