Message:: [QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3792933, member: 46237"]Yes I agree with your assessment on the WWI era coins. The iron 10 fillér in aUNC is typically hairlined and will go for about $100+, but the other issues are undervalued compared to the difficulty of finding them in nice condition. I didn't mention it for the alu-bronze 1950 issue, but it is also quite rare. A choice uncirculated example only goes for around ~$40. Really any of the three types of 1950 10 fillér have significant collector demand. If you encountered gem examples of the 1950 in aluminum, it was almost assuredly KM-530a. I have seen a few of these pop up on eBay from time to time and I have bought and resold them quite nicely. As I said above, they are probably restrikes, but Krause put them in as circulating types (wrong) so a lot of collectors are expecting them for type sets and there's more demand than there should be. The KM-547 1950 is extremely rare, but when one does pop up it is usually well-circulated. I have to assume most of the mintage was destroyed to account for the apparent rarity, but I don't really have any proof. Who knows, maybe there's 5,000,000 of them sitting in a vault somewhere.[/QUOTE]
