Oh great that was going to be my retirement project LOL I have found numerous new examples in both the British and European Lauer type coins. When I started these pages I left the Lauer coins for a while as they seemed to hold more information than most. Where are you based? Nice to meet you by the Way Larry

Oh yes I see now thank you that is a useful tip -
could you tell me do you know if the Gothic Portrait 1 D 1848 in copper is one of Moore's models? Actually I am not sure it may be bronze

Found this one recently -
the portrait may compare to the sovereign Mark by Lauer 1878
-
This one is a mystery to me at the moment. It has the ring of silver it may have once been gilt 20 mm 1.2 mm . if anyone has any ideas please share . I dont think is it a Greet St Basil's cake coin
-
there are a couple of tokens one by Lauer that sadly got away from me recently (but I was only half interested) permission to share from CoinWorldTV in Vienna Austria it's one of these Controlling your temper pieces but interestingly I have not seen one in white metal 3.8 gm 22mm I would think it to be aluminium or Tin ? if the date is correct it seems to be a very early use of VICTORIA's portrait very nice example of early Lauer . It is similar to the one in the whist box but those are gilt brass

Here as promised the new one . As I mentioned no other example illustrated by Rogers appears as this one the nose points directly towards the centre of the R and the S of SPIEL is at the back edge of the first part of the veil small letters seem to have been used for BAVARIEN and a mix of large and small letters for spIeLMarke
-
these two have images from the Fitz the first only the obverse was imaged the second both sides I will add the new one tomorrow interestingly this one shows numerous over stamping together with misspelling of MARKE using a reversed N it is hard to tell but it also appears that the L of SPIEL is an I over something
-
I have just re-examined this Sovereign along with another I have just located and find that this one does not correspond to any of those listed in Rogers the lettering bgins much further back on the the head and there is a mix of large and small letters in SPEIL MAKE . a mention is made to an unseen one #623 b which I thought might be this one but then I found a second one with mixed sizes in the lettering of SPIEL MARKE but in this example the S begins over the VEIL

sadly even when the malaysian airlines plane was shot down travelling out to the World AIDS Conference nothing was done. I lost three good friends that day, including my mentor and the world lost a swathe of biologists and virologists and immunologists.
-
that is about all I have of these although Rogers only lists one other a Sovereign and a Crown who knows whether others exist possibly ?
-
this one to the Right of the crown # 633 to the right of the crown
-
The Last ones which seem to be made by BALMBERGER are a group NURNBERGR SPIELMARKE I dont have a lot of them as they are pretty Rare this one #632 was unseen by Rogers and has the R on the tip of the crown ...Half Sovereign #633
-
One Farthing: #690 a second is listed in Rogers 691 with larger letters on the obverse and #696 is Brass with 1897 in exergue and a fourth #697 similar but in Copper the farthing is after the Trident in both

The Copper Half penny : Only one is listed in Rogers #685 no image is in Rogers as he had not seen one so it is hard to know which variety. In this one the HA is between the trident and helmet it is likely that there exists a version with the Half in small letters in full between the trident and the helmet and perhaps another with the HALF after the one ...I think this is new one unlisted perhaps using one of the lost numbers 680 to 685

The Copper Penny #677 the Reverse has large letters similar to the new one above but they are without serifs above whereas in this variety is with serif Rogers notes 3 varieties 677 #678 #679
-
The Penny : this is an interesting issue it seems at odds with the idea of making the lower value coins in copper and is Iron Plated Large letters on both sides with a small RS over the laurel . As far as I can tell this is a new variety the obverse seems to match this one #678
-
#670 Three Pence I have no example . No image of 673 670 is the larger letter variety
-
Sixpence 660 #661 #662 three varieties again one with an R over the Crown Fitzwilliam collection example sadly no other examples are listed I dont yet have one or the three listed .
