Chris Perkins Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Maria Theresa Taler. Google it! The date was frozen at 1780 but the coins are usually always modern re-strikes. Quote
RLC35 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 You are correct Chris. Most are Sterling Silver restrikes. Their value is basically bullion value, sometime a little more! Quote
hbox Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 thanks guys thats put my mind to rest must be a restrike it looks to new cheers H Quote
RLC35 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 I always heard it was 92%, but I could be wrong. I just looked at mine (Ive had it 40 years!), and it doesn't say any fineness or grain weight on it. It is a restrike though, and is uncirculated. A nice coin! Quote
