I somhow suspect that the lauer family were coin producers for quite a while the original father passing his knowlage on to his son etc . The early lauer coin were counters till about the year 1870 "To hanover" etc ,when the younger son took over he also had new coin producing machines that produced smaller and unusual coins never produced b4, that caught the imagination of the public all over europe , these are the most common pieces found today If you think about it this forum will also be a legacy for coin collectors (as long as it's kept going) it would be nice to have a forum on model coins but the number of fans is limited so it might never happen, this is the nearest we might get.

Great name for someone interested in coinage LOL

You can always upgrade in the future - I am sure the Lauer will be there

Better than a fadeing memory and at least its a permanant legacy so even better than most manage to leave

Rogers book is sadly missing from my collection I really would love a copy and it keeps its value when you want to sell it on . I would agree a website would be best , but it's working out that it does not leave you out of pocket thats the hard thing

Looking through com listings on ebay I found 204153815779 Item specifics Item not identified as the wrong spelling fetched around £25 in postage , coin in nothing like the same grade as mine - I am sure it could have gone higher.

The european lauer pieces are a never ending subject with new designs being found all the time - I would expect the german pieces to have been well reserched locally over many years but a lot of the others were probably made in low quantities and many were lost in the first and second world wars , I would have expected the richer economies of europe, ie, france and belgium and germany to have fallen for these coins very quickly others like portugal and spain might have been less profitable so were overlooked , they could also have been used as dolls house money for posh kids rather than family keepsakes like they were in the uk.

Other side of the to hanover counter - It's a generic design common to most of these coins but insted of being dated 1837 it's dated 1830 so a bit different

In my opinion its a really hard job seperating joseph moore coins from many many makers of tokens-jettons-counters whatever you call them the production of these just exploded from about 1850 onwards in birmingham and to a lesser extent London, the lauer coins are a diferent matter as few makers seemed to copy what they did . By the way have you got the lauer QUEN VICTORIA to hanover token dr larry ? I picked one up in birmingham for the usual £1 about six months ago, I was dead chuffed to buy it as its quite an embarasing thing to do having QUEN for QUEEN in the legend . It has Lauer on the queens breast so you can tell it's a german import. If you need anymore information just google it and you should find it . And yes it's in A/unc condition as well as the scan proves

You are right it could be a pendant it has a reeded edge and could have been coated in brass but it has come off - I really dont know anything for certain about this coin - there again thats one of the great things about collecting these coins you are never sure where they have come from...
-
Appears to be dated 1872 and posably in the style of joseph moore , very much an unknown item , again a pick up from birmingham

Some of the stuff I have picked up over the years is certainly a lot more in demand , but its a small but growing market a lot of the collectors from the seventies that collected just as an interest have much more knowlege so people are less willing to let the more interesting item go for a song . By the way do you have a joseph moore quarter sov?

Sorry but I could not justify paying around £40 for one of those george v coins they are simply a bit poor for that sort of money , about £12 might be right , I surpose they are really rare though.

Ahhh but did it get him a lenient sentence? The answer is no -
I have seen a couple of george v 1911 coins I think a shilling was one of them , they are pretty rare , I would certainly love to have a couple , soon afer 1911 the climate changed for german firms selling to the uk and never really recovered
