    Previously unknown Netherlands Holland Gold Ducat

    By Zorkomatic,


    Unique Netherlands Holland gold ducat overdate
    For my first entry in the journal I'd like to show something I very recently discovered. I bought a 1612 Netherlands Holland gold ducat from a nearby collector who advertised it online. The price was right, so I picked it up. On careful analysis, though, I realized the coin is an overdate variety that I could not find anywhere, a 1612/1. I sent pictures to Dariusz Jasek, the Polish author of the award-winning "Gold Ducats of the Netherlands, Vol. 1" and after searching through his 30,000-record database, he confirmed it is the discovery piece of a previously unknown overdate variety. He wants to include it in his upcoming Vol 2. Very cool news. NGC has also updated the slab to recognize it as an overdate.
