<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ccarroll, post: 2161149, member: 34167&quot;]Okay, I&#039;ll do my best to respond, but keep in mind that I&#039;m a total newbie, so I&#039;m not up on the language, and my judgment is, well, questionable.&nbsp; I&#039;m just guessing at the VF based on what I&#039;ve read and been told about other coins.&nbsp; I posted in other forums here about, for instance, my frustration with trying to sell an Austrian coin here in NYC.&nbsp; I naively thought that there would be tons of reputable dealers in Manhattan, and tons of informal collectors with coin clubs that might advise me - but that&#039;s not the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve tried to do a little research - sitting in a Barnes &amp; Noble with a half-dozen books in my lap - but it&#039;s not leaving me much smarter than when I began.&nbsp; The coins have definitely been circulated, but not damaged.&nbsp; I went experimentally to my first coin show at the beginning of the year, and if I remember correctly, I think I was offered about $300 or less for these.&nbsp; It if might retail for $1000, then $300 seems awfully low to me.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t shopped these around in NYC yet, but when I tried with the Austrian coin, the offers were even worse than the coin show. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not pawn shops, Beef1020, but a couple of dealers in the jewelry district on 47th, plus Brigandi where they were pretty curt and uninterested, and Paul Bosco, who&#039;s very reputable, who was courteous but not much interested, plus Stacks.&nbsp; They&#039;re mostly shrugging everything off as not worth much above bullion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, I guess the &quot;cc&quot; has no special weight in terms of making it more or less valuable?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
