Hello, please help with the evaluation of the coin in . Weight 5,07 gr., ¼ thaler (ort), Poland, probably 1615 ? 

It looks like this one

 

N#170610

 

The variants after 1615 look different, so 1610-1615, I can't read the last digit on your image.

1614 I think.

It is impossible to accurately estimate the value of a coin with damage like this (in addition to wear).

If I were selling it, I would be very happy to get $20.

My logic goes like this … 

In decent collectible condition (VF)  the coin is valued around $200-250:  https://www.numisbids.com/sale/5819/lot/?lot=485

Your starts a couple of grades lower, so maybe $50-75 without the hole? (I couldn't find a published sale of a coin in such low grade).

In my experience a hole then reduces the value of an otherwise collectible (but not extraordinarily rare) coin by 60-80%.

 

I've sold a more common holed Polish ort and gotten $10 on eBay.  The pre-1615 orts are harder to get at a low price, so I think there is probably a market. 

oops-all-pfennig, tdziemia ,thank you both for sharing your opinion on the coin. Yes, it is a type coin ,from this time range. It was also very difficult , for me to decide on my own what is the last number.

tdziemia I think that you may be on the right direction here. I'm willin to agree with youre observation that it maybe 1614 , but here is a another guess- 1612.

At first it seeme to be a “5” ,but on a closer inspection I think it is either  “4” or “2”, because it looks to me thath the  last number has shorter base ,so maybe  it is one of the two dates .  I have also searched for a similar low qualit specimens on Internet but unfortunately I didn't managed to find 

The quality is important as you mentioned , so I think that in this poor state the estimat you have pointed is a fair one. 

Nevertheles , the coins from this period is still scarer for me ,from the one of the later period.

This is the first one which I have manage to aquire for my collection.
