<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3259378, member: 46237&quot;]That&#039;s such a narrow application though. You&#039;d need to be an advanced collector that is also somehow an expert on a series you haven&#039;t yet collected. I&#039;m not convinced this is a very realistic scenario.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was already an advanced collector in general and with Austro-Hungarian coins before I got into my korona set, but I was well into the set before I had seen enough examples to know that the 1912 and 1913 (one of the three big keys for the Hungarian types) issues were always weakly struck in the beard, to recognize the variety of original looks in the series, and to be able to definitively spot altered dates for the big key (1906). It also took a while to realize how rare the big keys actually were versus their mintage numbers, and to get a feel for their true market value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
