    Anyone know any good resources (online preferably) to determine appropriate prices for Thalers?

    Best is probably one of the auction result databases such as Pro Coin Archives but you may have to pay a subscription fee. If you save a few hundred dollars in your Taler purchases, you will still come out ahead.

    I use acsearch and am very happy with it. It also will cost you (about $90/year) but it will tell you how much comparative pieces have brought at auctions going back about 20 years.

    I agree with what talerman and Eduard already offered. For me, the early research starts with my 8 year old Krause "German Coins version 1501 - present" as a start to get a feel for relative scarcity. Prices might not be on target but it certainly gives a sense of the general ballpark. Next I use acsearch as a online reference for the number of times the piece comes to auction. If it is a more common piece in a scarce grade, Heritage history can help also. I do not have a current subscription to acsearch, so if I need to get the most recent auction hammer prices, I use sixbid to hunt and peck through the most recent completed auctions to get a baseline. Of course, I have learned to throw all this out the window if it is a choice piece or if it is being auctioned by a premier house like Kunker....I have been the underbidder more times than I can count in recent years.
