key, semi-key, can't decide (warning Austrian coin ahead...duh!)
http://austriancoins.com/Auction/1899.jpg
This is a 1899 1-Heller coin from Austria. Except for the 1892 it is the most difficult coin in this 21 coin series to acquire. I am unsure weather the 1892 coin should really be considered part of the regular series or not. All the 1892 Austrian coins are pretty pricey. Since I collect these I guess I should know why but I don't know what was going on at that time except that 1892 did mark a change in Austrian coins. I have never seen the 1892 1-Heller on eBay in the three years I have been collecting them and only a few of the other 1892 denominations. I guess the 1892 makes this a semi-key. Never the less, it is one you don't see every day. Except for the 1892 I have completed this set and I am not sure I will try for an 1892 if it ever comes up. Probably will :-) I would grade this one a pretty strong VF. What say yea? Dissenting opinions? Dale |

Dale--
I don't know how to grade it, but that is one extraordinarily cool coin. --Keith "Dale Hallmark" wrote in message ... http://austriancoins.com/Auction/1899.jpg This is a 1899 1-Heller coin from Austria.

One of the things that makes it a little unusual is the lack of
inscriptions. Don't see coins like that often. Dale "Keith Fletcher" wrote in message ...
