Message:: [QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2179403, member: 46237"]So it does. Interesting. Well, the earlier type is definitely the rare one. That type was minted sporadically, with most minted between 1892 and 1895. They were not minted for 10 years after that point, resuming 1906 (very low mintage), and then in 1908-09 (high mintage). When the types transitioned in 1914 some of the 10 fillers were minted (possibly by accident) with an old reverse die (the 1914 obverses are the same). This is the rare type. Now, it's certainly possible that the 1914 for the later type is also a key date for that type (though it's only a 3 year type). The early type 1914 is explicitly listed as being rare and there are no values listed in the NGC price guide. The 1914 of the later type (KM 494) is listed as $600 for a VF20. The mintage is reported as 4,400,000 for 1914 with nothing listed for 1915 and 1916, so this may be the reported mintage for all three years. I only type collect Hungarian coins of this period so I'm not really up on the keys. I do know some of what is in Krause is incorrect though for more modern Hungarian coins. I ordered the definitive Hungarian catalog (Adamovszky István's Magyar Érme Katalógus 1848-2010) a couple weeks ago. I'll look it up in there when I receive the book.[/QUOTE]
