<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2/3 thaler, post: 26196526, member: 170842&quot;]If you collect 18th century Austrian coins from the reign of Charles VI, than think about adding a few 1/4 Thalers to your collection. Most collectors don&#039;t know that the survival rate on 1/4 Thalers are lower than you might think. You can find high grade 1/3rd and 2/3rd Thalers more than you can find 1/4 Thalers. XF grades and AU&#039;s are no problem to find, but if you see an MS grade you should buy it. </p><p>If we take the 1725 1/4 Thaler with a mintage of 11,000 you&#039;re only looking at $400 in MS 61, and the same goes for the 1734 with a mintage of 27,000. I&#039;ve seen maybe eight MS graded pieces of the 1734 and a few AU&#039;s, but VF&#039;s and XF&#039;s are not uncommon.</p><p>My favorite is the 1740 with a mintage of 42,000 and out of that 42,000 you need to know that there is the 1740/1 over date. The over date is the key as there are no other known over dates. I find it funny that you can buy an MS62 for under $400 and the same for the non over date 1740.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1672657[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
