Description

The listing, 1850 Sweden Helvetia Five Ore Silver Coin - Swiss has ended.

Welcome! Thank you for your interest in this 1850 Swedish/Sweden Helvetia Five Ore Silver Coin. I photographed it under various lighting conditions and used a US penny to show size comparison. It appears the coin does have a mint mark but I can't make it out. It looks like "JR" but might be something else. I'll leave the grading to you. Shipping is free to USA and Canada. This coin has not been cleaned. I took pictures under different lighting conditions. Please check the images carefully and place in your watch list for possible future bidding. No GIN please. Free Shipping to USA and Canada! Thanks for looking and take care, my friends!

I would like to thank all of you for visiting my Listia auctions. I have many more treasures to list so please keep posted! I will be listing many postcards, tokens, coins, and other interesting vintage and antique items. To find me quickly just type - martyfoley - in the Search bar and click Search.

I just wanted to give you a bit more info on your very cool coin, It is called a 5 Rappen, and is pure Silver (Billon)
Weight - 1.67 grams and the mint marks for this year coin are only, BB, AB, and no mintmark, I think this is one's mintmark is BB. It looks like the B is overlapping the other B, here is the web page to get all info on this coin my friend!
