Not at all, that's a lovely type there that I wish I owned myself. And it's better than what I have for 1864:

Yeah, a "vos_pieces" link takes a user to a page displaying their own recorded coins from a particular issuer.
For 1863:
1863 Denmark 1 Skilling Rigsmont - Frederick VII
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5210.html
Minted the same year Prince Albert of the UK (later Edward VII) married Princess Alexandra of Denmark; a year later the Second Schleswig War between Denmark and Prussia+Austria caused an internal row in the British royal family, since Albert's sister was married to the crown prince of Prussia (future kaiser Friedrich III of Germany and father to Wilhelm II).

For 1863, I was going to post the 1 skilling from Denmark, but I'll have to fall back to either an 1863 copper nickel US cent, or this:

For 1857, a slightly offstruck Neapolitan piastre:
1857 Two Sicilies 120 Grana - Ferdinand II
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces18301.html
The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (often refered to as Naples), with its
hideously complicated flag , was the one Italian state that never decimalised before Italian unification in 1861.
I'm trying to get one large silver coin from every Italian state between the Napoleonic wars and Italian unification.

thank you for your kind comments. I thought that they were in decent condition, considering their age.
Hope I look as good when I am 161 years old

@sc.rednek
Thanks, I think the so-called "Indian Princess" head coins are the best pre-20th century US coin design. Their small diameter means that I recall reading about someone in the California gold rush in the 1850s, who woke up with a terrible cough one morning, and eventually coughed up a $1 gold coin he had put in his mouth for safekeeping the night before.
Anyway, for 1853:
1214 (1853) Burma 1 Kyat - Mindon Min
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6847.html
My specimen has been treated rather abrasively, with brush marks on both sides, but its beautiful obverse peacock design remains spectacular nonetheless.

I have not heard that story but sounds quite likely!
The type 1 "liberty head" is smaller diameter than the type 2 or 3 "indian princess", but the same weight (they are thicker). For comparison...
The 90% silver type 2 and 3 three cent coins hold the record for thinnest and lightest ever for the USA

I'm just a collector of coins, not a slave to it, unless I am in a coin shop.
For all you banknote collectors. Link to my swap list.

Just a tiny silver for 1851:
1851 A France 20 Centimes
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1142.html
The first ever 20 centime coin minted; I really wish I had the much rarer 3rd Republic Ceres 20 centimes issue as well, though.
