    AU - plenty of circulation marks on the "10" numerals; don't appear to be bag marks.

    I do
    see the marks on 10 but the other parts of both Obv and Rev are mintstage plus! :)
    I think the marks on ten are from being put in coin books slips etc . Graders that the hard questions .

    If you're eating an apple, and find a worm, do you keep eating, on the theory that 99% of the apple's good? :yack:

    If memory serves me right the coin is struck in Iron, a damn hard metal to fully strike up. Personally I would call it a Choice. That way you won't get any arguments from the tire kickers. There are some coins that that are truly Unc (the 1922 plain cent for instance or some of the Buffalo nickels) and this is one of them. but it just doesn't look Unc. If a rare coin is valuable, and looks like this, then slab it and get a professional grade on it. Or, avoid the BS and put it in your $2 Junque Box. It will sell faster that way.

    It's not iron, it's copper-nickel-zinc, per Krause, for a 1916 Austria 10 heller; you may be thinking of the German 10 pfennig coin. It's KM #2825, cataloging $3.00 in extremely fine. I don't think it will fly in Mint State.

    Doug444. You are right. It was the German piece, not the Austrian piece I was thinking about. Regardless, the alloy used in Austria was was very hard and did not always strike up well.

    Jello; Two comments. The 1916 10 Heller is NOT silver although there are a very few pattern/experimental 10 Heller of 1916 in a low grade silver. Very rare, most melted. Also, a JUNQUE (note high class spelling) box and a junk box used to be two different things. The JUNQUE box was full of nice coins at discounted prices. The junk box was exactly that and generally priced at 25 cents/5 for $1/make an offer for the whole box price. Sold more damn 100 coin boxes that way.

    As an aside, I use to give my young 8 year old daughter that were candidates for a junk box. We found an old wooden nail keg at a yard sale and an old ammo box. She would set up with me. Her sign read "Emily's Really Inexpensive Foreign Coins". At her first show in Sulfer, Louisiana, they even gave her a table free. Everybody at the show (dealers and customers alike) came over. She made money hand over fist. Her net sales at the end of the show exceeded $100.00. Talk about being a happy kid.

    Memories, precious memories.
