I like how you can actually see the design now. I have a couple of good coppers that are so dark you can't make out anything. I am more than happy buying a coin like that/those. Especially if they are cheaper because of "cleaning".
This polish coin from 1791 in that conditon, here in Poland sell for around 60usd, you definitely need to check prices of the other european coins :) Thanks for video.
19:15 that's a 1 macuta from Angola (portuguese colony). These are minted in Brazil, but they used FOR ALL OF THEM a smaller planchet; you can see part of the lettering is missing and there's no rim.
I Love more affordable versions of world coppers like these. While cleaned, some great artwork that's actually visible. Can't wait to see them in your auctions.
Christian, I am really into old coppers, Large coppers, shoot I would sell off some of my silver or gold to give ya at least a few hundred dollars over what you paid!!! I have next to none shown, except for some some Canadian and U.K.Gary Bailey I have learned so much about World coin collecting I can go Into a coin shop or deal through the mail and have confidence I know what I am talking about and that is all due to yourself, THANKS GaryBailey
Its Angola, just a spelling mistake. Macuta was an African unit of copper used for trading through the continent. Known as Manilla in Nigeria and Makuta in Congo. The copper came from the Ndola copper belt which is far eastern Angola, Zambia and southern DRC.
Yeah the Uruguay large copper I have one or two and the Jamaican Half and pennies also, and Mexican large old coppers, and the one you said was British related macao or macaro but anyway Yes it is British territory or colony!! GaryBailey
That state in Mexico (Jalisco) is pronounced hah-LEE-scoh. Guernsey is pronounced GURN-zee. Guyana is not pronounced the same as Guinea. It is pronounced guy-AN-ah.
