Thank you all. I really like the design on Hungarian koronas too.
Half: Glad to hear you're doing fine. I'm also ok; I'll be changing job in February. Looking forward to it.

Great grabs. It sounds like you obtained some nice coins for your collection. The 20 Korona still doesn't look gold.
Weight?

I don't have a scale at my parent's house, so I can weight it when I return home in a few days (at which point I can also make better photos). A Numista link for reference: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces33163.htmlI don't have much experience with gold, but in all aspects the 20 corona seems real to me. I also can't imagine it would be a fake, given it's provinence. |

I think the XF values were outdated, then the MS values were added without changing the XF ones. The price list is usually identical to the one in Krause's catalogues. I've also noticed that there were coins that got listed for $20 at VF and $3 at XF (IIRC, may be off, but you get the point, right?  ). Another gentle reminder that world coin price catalogues are not always 100% accurate and updated thoroughly (which is worse than not 100% accurate). P.S. can't wait for a good shot of the gold coin   . Edited by Guybrush

Thank you. One of of my interests (other than Euro and US coins) are coins of Austro-Hungarian empire, and I have a general feeling to what some coin can be worth and - perheps more important - how it shood look like. I also know not to trust catalogues 100 %. But no matter how I looked at those figures, they just didn't made any sence  |

Then, more data was available so $325 was put for MS. But when updating the MS value they did not change the XF values to match the newer MS values.  Edited by Guybrush

I took some additional photos with different lightning. I also put the coin on scale: 6,8 grams (in literature 6,775g), but my scale is accurate only to 0,1 gram. As you can see the coin is quite scratched on surfaces.   |
