Nice coin Dan.
I don't have many (read any) high grade coins but I like what I have for the history, location and general thought of how long they have survived.

Gee Wayne, that sounds like the sign of a true numismatist and hobbyist.

I collect/collected those Austrian 1 and 2 hellers over the years to get a full date set and it was always a thrill to pull a new addition out of a junk box. Only 3 of all those are Uncs. I'm still missing the key 1892s as well as the '97 and '99 1 hellers.

Austria provides some of the greatest numismatic collecting opportunties in both silver and gold from the early 1300's to modern stuff.
From the Holy Roman Emperors (ie. Ferdinand I, II and III,Leopold I (Hogmouth) and Maria Theresia to name a few) to Franz (I, II and Josef).
Coins from this country provide both historic reference as well as great artistic designs.
And you also must not forget the great Austrian States such as Salzburg which in its own right is a numismatic paradise.

I have several silver and gold pieces in my collection and always looking to add others from Austria.

Nice coins Wayne.

Here a couple for you:
