william Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 I have a strange coin with a twenty on it. The date is 1894. On the obverse there is a coat of arms that I don't recognise. What country is this from? How much is it worth? Picture below vvvvv Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 Willaim,That's Austrian, a 20 Heller.Only 1914 is worth over £3.00 in fine condition, and that isn't Fine. Most of them are under £1 Fine. Quote

Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 No, it's just mixing up a possessive adjective with a verb is......unforgivable! Quote
