"Frustrated collectors" or "Common coins that command high prices"
Here is an interesting auction for a relatively common Austrian coin.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8370934541 Well I say common as it was minted to a tune of 9.90 million which is by far the largest mintage of the entire series (1980-2001). The 2003 SCWC list it at $3.50 in Uncirculated while my more recent Austrian catalogue lists it at 5 Euros. So why did it get 17 bids and sell for $31 in probably AU? Because it doesn't come up for auction often, because it is an inexpensive coin you just can't find, because sellers normally don't make much on it, because it wasn't saved, because you need it to finish a set...... I have one with a small rim bump at 12 O-Clock and I considered seriously bidding on it for an upgrade. but I didn't. Different coins: If anyone has an uncirculated or EF+ Austrian 1950 20 Groschen, mintage 1.62 million catalogues in uncirculated for about $15.....put it up on ebay and if I have any competition at all.... see how much I will bid for it :-) or the 1981 20-Schilling of the same above design! Dale Collecting common stuff is tougher than you think!

Dale Collecting common stuff is tougher than you think! I bought a small lot, ie about 8-9 early 20th century Austrians on another auction site recently, very interesting. Even have the 1848-1908 1 Corona commem. I have really gotten interested in the early 20th century Europe stuff lately. It is all underpriced in my opin.

They are nice looking coins and the 5-C is quite large. http://www.austriancoins.com/images/...18/FiveCor.jpg These come up fairly often for auction. The 1900-1904 1-Corona coins, though not rare do not come up so often. The 1892, 1906 and 1907 but especially the 1906 1-Corona are toughies The five Corona coins 1900, 1907, (1908) and the two 1909's are a little expensive in upper grades but obtainable. The minor coins are more of a challenge to put together a set due to the low price of a lot of them. My favorite time period to collect coins from is the time between the World Wars. Dale

I briefly owned a 4 Ducat but then turned around and sold it. No more gold for me, unless I can find an original 100 Corona.
