Question
Sorry for the lack of details.
)
The coin is silver
Hi Kathy, There were only 21,000 of these 'Mining' Thaler coins minted that year in Dresden (F) featuring Saxony's King Friedrich August II (1836-54). This 75% silver coin should weigh 22.2720 grams and would contain .5371 of an ounce of silver.
Collector value may be worth about $60 with heavy wear to around $150 with moderate wear to maybe $300 with light wear.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
