Medieval German Valuation

SonnyD

Not savvy with Medievals so any input would be appreciated with this coin. Thinking about selling but am not finding a lot comp wise to aid me. Anyone here good with the German stuff?

These pieces were minted by several different mints in Germany from the years
1437 A.D. intermittently thru 1450 A.D. Most off them are relatively common. They
were all made of silver, but at times, varying degrees of purity. This piece has a weak
but readable date. These pieces are known either as Groschens or Weisspfennigs.
There are many more from these mints without dates. The price paid for this coin
is not bad. Here is my piece:

@SonnyD All known pieces of this type are silver. There are very few collectors of these
Early Dated coins. There are collectors who collect by mint or the pictured Saint. This
one is St. Peter. Collectors that collect by mint or Saint are also few, mostly in Europe.
To my knowledge there are fewer than 10 Early Dated collectors here in the U.S. For
resale your best bet would be a collector of dates, One For Each Year (OFEY). These
collectors on some forums see how far back in time they can go with the help of other
collectors. Most games stall around 1475A.D. Early Dated= pre 1501 A.D.

This particular item just sold for $71 on GC in November this year. What is the question?

Asking in terms of resale, do Medieval collectors put any kind of premium on silver examples?
