I just recieved a mixed e-bay lot and there is a VERY bright 2 groschen coin, Krause only lists a 1967 proof,no business strike listed. Is this an oversight? Thanks-Ed
Ed,the 1967 2 Groschen only exists in Proof.I had a 1967 Austrian Proof set.I had my boss put it on Ebay.I got US$80 for it,because the 2 Groschen is the valuable coin in the set. Aidan.
Thanks---Nice, This lot I bought for 21.00 bucks is chock full of good stuff 1934 Ireland Florin-XF East German 1952-E 10 Pfennig unc( sorry 2 groschen was unc-I get excited LOL) and I have not even scracthed the surface Ed
Ed,the Irish coins of the early 1930's & right up to 1937 are worth keeping an eye out for,as there are some pieces that one very seldom sees.An example is the 1936 Farthing,which is the only Irish coin from the reign of King Edward VIII. All East German coins with the 'E' mintmark of the Muldenhutten Mint are very good items.They are very difficult to find.You'll have to post some photos some time. Aidan.

The proof 2 Groschen was mixed in with a handful of Austrian business strike,it amazes me anyone would not put it in a flip
Someone more than likely either wasn't a collector or didn't know a good coin when he see's one. Speedy
