coppercop Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I bought this 1755 Austrian 10 Kreuzer at my local coin shop today..if features a 1755 date, with a very obvious 4 underneath the last 5..packet states this overdate un-recorded..curious if this may be so, and, perhaps worthy of obtaining a new discovery coin listing?ThanksCalvin G.

It's definitely 5/4, so where is the mintmark? If Krause is accurate, the only 1754 mint listed is WI (Wien), so any 5/4 is likely to be from here unless other mints had dies cut that weren't used. I suspect Krause may not tell the full story, so does anybody know the definitive volume for Austrian currency? Quote
azda Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Try looking for Kurt Jaeger book. He's basically Germanys eqivilent of Spink, i don't know if he goes back that far, i have one from 1871- to present, but i'm sure there's one for previous to that date. It will be in German though i assume. Quote

coppercop Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 If anyone can find the price for this, I would certainly like to see...in 3, 4 grades..my specimen should grade about VF range..I do not have a pricebook for this coinage, so, the help is much appreciated..Why one person puts it at 16k perks my interest, certainly...it's a professional site, and long-time dealer, there is no reason to super-inflate things...even if mine is in the 4-5k range, I would be quite happy.Cal Quote

azda Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) You are mistaking 125,000€ for the actual price of €125,00 (that one hundred and twenty five euros) not ( one hundred and twenty five thousand euros)You only Need to look ar the €10 tax to see that its €125Wakey wakey Edited February 3, 2012 by azda Quote
coppercop Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 Well, it looks like the seller wanted roughly 170 DOLLARS...I was trying to get an estimate of value...I am sending the coin to Mr. Ken Potter, who does attribute world coins for varieties...hopefully, this overdate will get a new listing..will update when returned.Thanks for all helpcalvin Quote
