Rob Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 I would prefer to see prices from a French catalogue, because Krause pricing is geared towards those paid for slabbed pieces - hence the numbers seen, which are frequently all over the place with some things listing at $200 in VF but only $20 in UNC. The absence of anything against both 1710 & 1713 suggests none have been submitted, which may or may not be an indication of relative rarity. Quote
bagerap Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Its generally agreed that 105,000 of these were minted but no catalogue offers a price. For those interested, Albertis is one of the best guides around: http://www.albertis.fr/topic/index.html Quote
