They are becomeing more collectable now than in the past - people realise that a great and interesting collection can be built up for a tiny amount of money - you try a few hundred quid on Victoria bun pennies and see the poor quality and low grade stuff you will have to put up with . A few hundred pounds on to hanover tokens will buy you lots and lots , though I have noticed that a few more unusual pieces are fetching £20-£30 on ebay so there must be some demand for interesting pieces , this will only increase as more and more stuff sells on the bay. By the way larry I do think your example has no "Lauer" but cannot be sure, so might have so I say 20/80 sure

It was just a find from google so its not my coin , its a pretty good guess there are loads more around though.

I got one of those Russian advent calenders this year you open a window every day and an oligarth/critic falls out
-
heres another with no "lauer"
-
Remember this was an early piece from 1845-55 at a guess but it does seem strange yes - at least we have at least three varieties to go on now , I now have to search down one without "Lauer" and also one with Queen on the obverse.

Totally lovely coin I also saw that on ebay and don't quite understand why these dont end up selling for hundreds of dollars in the states - everything to do with this period is avidly collected in the usa and fetches big money , why not this coin - their loss i surpose.

Pavel Antov, 65, died Sunday in India just days after celebrating his 65th birthday. A June WhatsApp message linked to Antov's account was seen as critical of Putin's war in Ukraine. A second critic of Vladimir Putin died Sunday after reportedly falling out of a window, Russian media outlet TASS reported. According to reports, Pavel Antov fell from a hotel window in Rayagada, India, just days after celebrating his 65th birthday. He was visiting the state of Odisha in eastern India. Antov was the chairman of the Committee on Agrarian Policy, Nature Management and Ecology of the Legislative Assembly of the Vladimir Region and was well known in the region, according to TASS.

The speaker of the legislative assembly, Vladimir Kiselyov, called Antov's death a "difficult and irreparable loss" in a statement on the website of the regional parliament, TASS reported These people have no imagination

And will any contain eliz 11 coins
-
Well young folks these days would be far better off concentrateing on putting a roof over their heads than obtaining a coin collection , so I see their point
-
If its dated 1717 it has to be rare anyway
-
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
-
and thank goodness you do
-
Better than a fadeing memory and at least its a permanant legacy so even better than most manage to leave
-
Hold on there is a missing "F" in def there isn't there?
-
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
