Need some expert advice on a Gold 1915 100 Corona

WaterSport

Am I correct that these were restruck with original dies?

If so, how can you distinguish the original from restrikes?

Were can I find a value for such a piece? Coin looks easily MS 65 or better.

Would PCGS slab this coin?

What’s the best venue to sell it?

Thanks for your time and talent !

might get better luck on the world coin forum, Im under the impression most that you'll come across are restrikes and they've pretty common, even in excellent condition, they're basically just a bullion coin. hopefully you didn't buy for too much over melt.

Austrian 100 Coronas
Long before krugerrands were ever thought of, Austria used to produce a large gold coin, the One Hundred Coronas. These were issued between 1908 and 1914, bearing their date of issue. In typical Austrian tradition, after the death of Franz Joseph in 1916, official restrikes were issued as commemorative pieces, all bearing the date 1915.
The Corona
The corona as a denomination started with the monetary reform of 1892, until Austria became a republic in 1918.
