Hungarian hammered articles

But do any of you gurus know what exactly the values are or what dynasty etc ? I love them - they're so good to look at !



















Now I've seen a better version of this coin in the catalogue but can't remember where from I think it's some sort of Austro Hungarian thing












I think this is Constantine ?








Also what are the chances of this being a real spade guinea on the right ?



This is my other hammered things








And I thought this was a 12 skilling from the Danish West Indies but I can't match up the C bit on the back at al.l :S




Sorry for the bombardment lol I do have more and will upload them
In time !

  Last one (1767) looks a bit like this one; except it has C 7 and yours has C VII on it - but it is a start of where to look - Danish West Indies. Some of the other pictures are too blurred to look at - or write the size and what letters are readable - to help us to help you.   

P.S. I see you already agree with the country, and I agree now it is 12 value (and is KM# 12 also), as on the top right edge lettering on ship side it reads XII which is like the better example below ...



  Also not sure if PhotoBucket pictures are allowed, as yours are too big - perhaps only Numista server is supposed to be used, as it creates miniatures. On Reply box click Image on top right. Maybe  

  Finally, though it is dated 1767 that is not the mintage date.
Letter A was struck in 1795 and 1800
Letter C was struck in 1782
Letter K was struck in 1790 and 1791
  Not sure where the letter is - all three are still KM# 12 and are described >
Obverse: Crowned monogram
Reverse: Ship within inner circle
Obverse Legend: D G DAN NOR VAN GOT REX
Reverse Legend: AMERICANSK M XII SKILL DANSKE

Ah I didn't know that I've always just used Photobucket. I need a scanner but will try to alter My macro so they are better and maybe not use my iPhone ! Thanks for the help, I will keep this updated :)

    Yeah - I think that was what I read on here somewhere a while ago; plus see below the image for my page for the picture I add above - it includes the word  miniatures  in the picture address.
  I created the KM# 12 coin page, so you can mark it in your Collection, or Exchanges. Perhaps you can add your own image to the page. Do you have photo editing software, so you can cut out a good picture of just the coin, and on a white background? Or a scanner like you mentioned. Thanks  

Interaction with other coin collectors online today requires learning to make good pictures of coins. Some opt for making photos. Photos could look nice, but to achieve that one needs much more than a phone camera. It is much easier and cheaper to achieve excellent quality of images of coins with a simple flatbed scanner.
Here is a link to Charles R.Calkins Guide to Scanning Coins which helped me to learn scanning and formatting coin images.

I see, there's not an option for me to upload images on my reply as I am on the phone friendly one and when I switch to the normal version I can't upload I'll have to wait till I'm on a laptop to re-post them.. I have a good digital camera like so that will do for the time being thanks for the tips !

  Talking of picture taking, I saw a programme on Wednesday (Britain's Secret Treasures on ITV1) and in it was a brief glimpse of a museum where photographs were being taken, of some gold coins that were found. It (white paper underneath, then three tubes on top, to hold up a pane of glass) looked a good system. I guess the glass, with it being raised up, is so no shadows from whatever lighting is used. So inspired am I that just now I made my own, very rough, interpretation - and it works. Don't laugh at the first picture below - it is all I had on hand to work with; will try to get better stuff during the week. For today I used a white envelope, four batteries, and the base of a plastic container. Then used a lightweight coin so all the 'system' did not collapse under the weight. Not a bad result either for the first picture I took with it - the five pence on the right below; there's a bit of flare on the top, and a very slight shadow on the left from underneath from a battery supporter. Here they are ...

                               

  I guess apart from glass or clear plastic, that I need taller tubes, so any shadows are removed. While the system was in place I tried to take pictures of a very beautiful French medal which arrived yesterday ...



  Maybe some members have a similar, more professional system already - do you have any pictures taken using it? I have no scanner, so just trying various other ways of getting better pictures.

Hmm might have to give that a go as I have an abundance of Perspex anyway !
