This coin is more available than the earlier dates and may be fully priced in Krause.
The coin is not greatly more available though and the price would seem to imply that it is. If this is solid unc then it's likely worth more than Krause. If it's gem (as it appears it could be) then I'd consider it significantly undervalued.

Excuse my ignorance but what is "Krause"? And I have no idea what this coin grades because I have never seen one of these before.

Thank you for the comment and that is nice pickup I like the toning too.
Krause is the publisher of The Standard Catalog of World Coins which many people think of as the bible of world coin prices. (it's often inaccurate though, especially on later dated coinage).
This is a more difficult issue than many to detect wear but there is a technique that will work for any coin. Normal wear always starts on the highest points. If you tilt the coin slowly with a light opposite the coin until it is nearly flat then the high points will seem to jump right out at you. Do this repeatedly tipping it back and forth until you can look at these high points dead on. These areas should have the same collor and texture as the rest of the coin. If they appear grey or are dinged up then the coin is not unc.
