I ordered 2 of the latest editions of KM 1701-1800, and the KM 1801-1900, I guess this is a sign of the "Darkside Fever"...... Now i won't have to keep asking for help.

Thank's to all who have helped in the past, ozzysdad......image

    Good investment and I'm sure you will get your money's worth from these two books.
    I bought these same two books earlier this year and believe me they are invaluable and very helpful. There is so much information!!!

    Silvereagle, I think your right, Now, tell me where i can find that coin you have of Maria Theresa, I liked that coin so much i set your pic for my desktop background. I searched the bay of "E", to no avail.............. I've got a bunch of the 1780 Thaler restrike's, But i like your coin much more. I've just retired my 1947 50 Peso's, And was thinking about mounting my 1804 8 Reale's, The one i posted awhile back, I call it "Chop Suey" because it has so many chopmark's. But, that "Babe" coin is way cool.............ozzysdad......image

    ozzysdad,

    I tried to send you a few pms with no luck ??? Anyway her's the scoop on the coin
    It was offered (and sold) in a Hess-Divo Auction on October 27, 2005 in Zurich, Switzerland. (Auktion 303)
    Based on my brief study it is a private issue coin or medal

    The coin details:

    Schätzpreis/Estimate CHF 20000.- (Hammer price=CHF 23000 or $19,000 USD)[]

An arm coming from clouds ignites a lamp, which stands on a postament decorated with the binding sign, with a torch/flare besides a dried up stump, from which a new impulse grows. A NEW STAM BY YOUR FLAM. In the section again the signature P.H.G. 38 mm. 17.29 g. coincoin coins -. Mages -. Gaedechens II, 61, 34. Of large rarity. Winz. Scratch in the field, otherwise Stamp gloss Already Gaedechens states expressly that this medal is very rare and that it knows one copy in gold at all only.

    Good job. After searching for certain coins you'll figure which are priced too high in Krause and which are pitifully low. For example, if you think you'll be able to pick up a Venezuelan 1876 20 centavos for $100 in VF, you'll either be lucky to find one or will pass on those offered for sale as being "too high".

    Speaking of centavo's........lol........ I got to going thru this lot i bought and found a Mexico 1873-Pi0 10 centavos in VF-? KM#403.9. The book say's rare and no price's listed? Mintage of 4,750, The only drawback is that it's holed........Bummer........ But it's a very small hole and hopefully it won't detract to much value? I wonder what it is worth? and how many of them have survived. I tried to google it, can't find out anything?

    Thank's , ozzysdad....
