well, now i get the final bidder on the ashtray. she's from milwaukee and her maiden name is schuster(no relation).

but that is NOT why i am here.
more estate sale tales.
ooh, did i get a goodie today. sure, the mink bits are good cat toys. and the silverplate is pretty and that wooden trivate looks great in the kitchen.but today i think i found something to come close to the roman key i found. and they had no idea. how could they if they priced it at $5? now, i do not know much about coins, but i could tell i could trust the date on this baby. 1719?!? 1719!!! ooh, and 1/2 price today too! now, the 'words' had me a bit confused carol VI? ok charles. i get that. but where in the hell is BVR & Silesiœ? and whats ARCHID AVST DVX?
heck, whats RISAGHIHBREY?
ebay did have a 1715 coin with charles VI and he was wearing a morre warlike outfit. and it was in far better shape. mine MINE has a silver wire around it and made into a 'pendant'and quite worn, but it is almost 300 years old. i have newer coins that look worse.
so, does anybody out there know anything?
not that it matters. i ain't selling this. this is going on the wall. no nice of whoever to make that easy.
it is also 1 5/8 in diameter and no idea what it was worth then. if it's the holy roman empire, would it be a lira? OOH, i must e-mail my barefoot italian e-pal. maybe he knows.
