<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1489769, member: 29751&quot;]This new addition to my horse themed set arrived today.&nbsp; It is a nice crusty version of a somewhat difficult Italian type coin.&nbsp; Finding one in AU range is doable and affordable with patience -- but finding the type in MS is almost impossible, and often very expensive.&nbsp; I opted for AU range.&nbsp; The design of the woman riding in the biga is great!</p><p><br /></p><p>Krause lists the mintage of the 1928 at 6.6 million pieces and gives values of $60 in VF, $200 in XF, and $400 in MS.&nbsp; No AU price is given, but this AU example with a lot of &quot;crust&quot; set me back around $80.&nbsp; The 1928 is a slightly better date than the much more common 1927, which was minted in a quantity of 44.8 million with listed prices of $30 in VF, $100 in XF, and $200 in MS.&nbsp; The other available dates (1926, 1929, and 1930) go for more money and are difficult to even hunt down in grades of AU, let alone MS.&nbsp; To complicate matters, the 1927, 1928, and 1929 issues come in two different edge lettering types (the <a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/WorldCoinPrices.aspx?category=30247&amp;worldcoinid=90367&amp;FromSearch=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/WorldCoinPrices.aspx?category=30247&amp;worldcoinid=90367&amp;FromSearch=true" rel="nofollow">KM# 68.1</a> as mine is, and the <a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/WorldCoinPrices.aspx?category=30248&amp;worldcoinid=90375&amp;FromSearch=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/WorldCoinPrices.aspx?category=30248&amp;worldcoinid=90375&amp;FromSearch=true" rel="nofollow">KM# 68.2 </a>which varies slightly).&nbsp; Follow the two links if you wish.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]189482.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
