<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sunflower, post: 828698, member: 23219&quot;]I have already done a search on this topic. The results were very helpful. The suggested links for seeking more info, however, had expired or since been closed. (I did not wish to subscribe to one of the links due to the $600.fee). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sometime ago I purchased 56 Austria Maria Thaler, 1780 restrikes for 13.22 each. They arrived today, and they appear to be of different ages. Some are worn, some have beautiful toning, others are fresh looking with a frosted or proof look to them. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My question is, how do I determine how old they are. I read about fakes on some of the older links. I trust the coin shop I did business with. It is a long time family run business out of state, that now offers internet sales. At the time I purchased them, I was comfortable with what I was paying based on spot silver/premium and the potential surprise (I have forgotten the percentage &amp; permium cost since). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These coins are unique pieces to me - especially as a group. Is there an easy way to sort these? or to identify them. When considering details, the images are rather different, and the plancetts(?) seem different on some of them too. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like these coins very much, but would like to understand what I have better. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thank you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
