oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5257 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 6:08 pm I am helping out a dealer friend who got a large collection. It appears that the vast majority were purchased 10-20 years ago and most have the original dealer's tags and prices from that era. The vast majority are from northeast Europe-austria-Hungary. It has been challenging at times but educational. I have checked these sources: 1. ebay: limited value as many are not listed and most of the time they are listed as "buy it now" so I have no idea what the actual sale price was. 2. NGC world coin coins prices/ Krause: In most cases I can get a positive ID if the item dates from 1600 and newer, but Krause has some errors/ omissions, plus there has been reshuffling of mints/ countries since many of coins were purchased. 3. MA shops (A german site): This has been most helpful for pre-1600 coins, but of course these are asking prices. Can anybody think of any other on-line sources I should look into?

Much value interpolation still needed to price an individual coin that is under investigation. Vcoins for coins earlier than 1600 also OK, but the size of the date base is much smaller. Even more interpolative work required. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5257 Posts	Posted 03/09/2019 06:13 am Thanks, everyone. Good advice. I will check those out. What I am finding so far is that prices are " all over the map", in other words, not so firmly established the older you go. This area and era seem not to be the most popular collecting area, hence sales seem to be fewer. Report this Post to the Staff
