I recently picked up a 1 Rappen coin from 1850 together with a whole bunch of European copper. I know book values (Krause) for Swiss coins are inflated somewhat, but that looks to be a bit much (VF20 at $125!). Any ideas why this is priced the way it is? Any ideas on an actual price? HA.com didn't have any prior sales. Thanks. https://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/world-coin-prices.aspx?category=59287&worldcoinid=159897 Date Denom Mintage - F12 VF20 XF40 AU50 MS60 MS63 1850A Rappen 2,270,000 --- 125 -- 200 -------- 250 -- 375 -
cool coin. you are right that is a high mintage number. have you seen what the completed auctions on Ebay go for ? that is what I would do. maybe there is a switzerland coin collector in here CT that could tell you more about the actual prices for the grade.
Spirityoda: Good idea with completed auctions. The only one I saw was holed and went for $4.99 plus shipping, but thanks for the idea.
