<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 16101583, member: 110226&quot;]That is correct - generally crown-size coins command a premium when compared to fractional denominations.&nbsp; I suppose it is analogous to Roman sestertii in ancient coinage.&nbsp; The larger format allows for more artistic expression, in terms of space.&nbsp; Sometimes, though, it is absolutely amazing how really fine artistry can be seen on even obols.</p><p><br /></p><p>Almost all of my crowns were acquired back in the 1980s - 2010s, the bulk falling between the 80s and 90s.&nbsp; I remember seeing &quot;wildman&quot; thalers selling for $200 to $250 in VF, and the more common Saxony thalers of the late 1500s selling for around that price range.&nbsp; Now, how much does a decent wildman thaler sell for?&nbsp; $500 or more?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Denars and groschen offer a much better value, generally speaking, though I&#039;ve seen some pretty high prices for those, especially if they are rare or in choice condition (or both).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
