[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 29859, member: 669"][indent][/indent] The pictures in Krause aren't distinct enough to compare fine detail, but in general the posted pictures do match them. However the genuine coin - if it exists - is struck from .5830 silver, and the surface depicted frankly looks more like a casting to me. In 1790 20 Kreuzer was probably valuable enought to justify contemporary counterfeiting. If it's a counterfeit, the value is very little, especially with that hole. If it [i]is[/i] genuine, setting the value is a very tough call. 1790A and 1790E coins are listed at only $7.50 in G (the top grade I could see this coin getting from anyone but SGS or ACG. :eek: ) Deduct something for the hole, add something for the rarity, and apply the old saw - it's worth what someone would pay for it. A specialist in 18th Century Austrian coinage, with that particular hole to fill, would certainly pay a lot more than I would. :D[/QUOTE]
