Braunschweig Wolfenbuttel 1818 24 Mariengroschen

[Mark240590]

Hallo, Ich bin seit einiger Zeit Mitglied und mein armer Deutscher begrenzt meine Abilkität zum posten, ich muss google Translate benutzen. Ich habe vor kurzem dieses 1818 24 Mariengroschen aus Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel gekauft. Ich bin besorgt, dass es nicht klingelt wie meine 1817 Kopie. es gibt auch einige geringfügige Abweichungen im Design (die Krone ist das Hauptanliegen) könnte mir jemand helfen, die Echtheit zu identifizieren? ive gewogen, mit Seltenerdmagneten überprüft und den Spezifischen Schwerkrafttest durchgeführt und alle zeigen auf echt, aber ich kann nicht umhin, besorgt zu sein. die besten Wünsche, Kennzeichen

Incase google translate is poor and You can read in English:

hello,

i have been a member for a while and my poor German limits my abilkity to post, i have to use google Translate.

i have recently purchased this 1818 24 Mariengroschen from Brunswick- Wolfenbuttel. i am concerned that it does not ping like my 1817 copy. there are also some slight variations with design (the crown being the main concern)

could anyone help me identify the authenticity ? ive weighed, measured checked with rare earth magnets and done the Specific Gravity test and all point to genuine but i cannot help but be concerned.

best wishes,

Mark.

The coin is not perfectly round and measures 32.73 at its smallest and 32.94 at its widest.

This is my other copy. The coin above is an upgrade for this.

Anyone ?

I can't see anything wrong on both coins.
I my eyes they seem to be authentic.
The light differences at the crowns should be caused by different dies.

Thanks, what do you think of the difference with the dimensions too ?

These coins have not been struck by a machine but by manpower. Lightly different sizes and weights are usual.

Maybe it also helps to compare your coin with other coins that are supposed to be authentic and that you can find in the internet.
For example these 1818 specimen were sold in recent auctions:

Thanks, I have been comparing online. Sadly I cannot find any technical data from those coins which would be a help. It does look very similar.

Here’s a link to a video, the only way I could think to host it and share it online was via YouTube.
