What is it?
What is it's KM#?
What makes it unique?
What is it worth?
What does it grade?
What can you tell me about it?

1jester · May 23, 2005 8:37AM

Is this another one of your AU-58 trick questions??

MadMarty · May 23, 2005 8:44AM

Hi Jester, this one should be right up your alley!

MSD61 · May 23, 2005 8:52AM

It's a Honduran 1 real coin of the provisional Government.
KM# 33
The coin is made from copper- nickel
There are variations to these coins in the provisional coinage. Coins with rosettes instead of dots separating their legends are patterns or trail strikes of the dies which were made in England.

Not a KM#33.

I'd grade it MS63BN and as such, Krause lists it at $70.

MadMarty · May 23, 2005 8:57AM

Wrong on both parts.

Syracusian · May 23, 2005 9:00AM

Wrong on three parts, I think it's KM33 too.

Just a variety I guess, due to the E instead of the A.

MadMarty · May 23, 2005 9:01AM

Nope it's not a KM33, and it's not in my older Krause.

spoon · May 23, 2005 9:09AM

Bah, it's a Darkside pattern.. I'll give you twenty bucks for it

Awesome coin, though. By a famous engraver too. Have anymore background on it?

MadMarty · May 23, 2005 9:11AM

spinaker2000 · May 23, 2005 9:12AM

MSD61 · May 23, 2005 10:38AM

Tell me you don't learn anything from this forum! I didn't see the "E" I am ashamed

<< Tell me you don't learn anything from this forum! I didn't see the "E" I am ashamed >>

Don't be. I still don't know what they are talking about. What 'E' and what 'A' ?????

PhillyJoe · May 23, 2005 10:53AM

Now that you found the "E", what can you tell us about "Barry"?

Joe

MadMarty · May 23, 2005 9:08PM

I'm sure there is someone out there that can shed some light on this subject!! I know the E is for ESSAI.

MSD61 · May 24, 2005 12:17AM

On the reverse side of the coin, under the wreath there is an "E" ajaan.

1jester · May 25, 2005 5:30AM

Marty, I'm sorry I can't shed any light (or dark ) on this coin. I have no Krause from that period, and as you well know, my knowlege is very meager. So the coin is some kind of pattern, but I don't know anything else about it. I believe the period of the Central American Republic was a bit earlier than this piece, right? So it's not a CAR piece. But maybe it is the first Honduran coin?

ccrdragon · May 25, 2005 6:01AM

<< I have no Krause from that period, and as you well know, my knowlege is very meager >>

jester - I wish I knew as much as you have probably forgotten about coins....
