<p>[QUOTE="rick, post: 47787, member: 1235"]The austrian Ducat should be somewhere in the price range of about 50 bucks, if it is authentic. I'm guessing it's a 1915 restrike, and that's about the rate - they are, far and away, the most common. If it's authentic and not a 1915 restrike issue, then the price could be much higher, depending on what you got.</p><p> </p><p>So, all else considered you spent $450 for about 450 US coins, quite a few appear to be worth more than a buck (of what you listed), and you got 450 foreign coins, which I know from first hand experience can be worth hours of fun with kids AND 600 or more wheat pennies. I'd say you got yourself a good bargain. A heck of a deal, all things considered. Cost averaging says you did well - I can't say whether you got your money's worth in resale, because G-4 conditions can sometimes be hard to move, if you ever decided to part with them - but as you said, you didn't make the purchase to make money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
