neuron Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 09/09/2007 11:15 pm Hello all, I came across an auction that caught my eye, but didn't win it. The problem was I didn't know what I was bidding on, so I didn't know a good amount to bid... I went up to about $55. Did someone get a sweet deal? Also, can someone identify the coins for me and tell me a little about them? They look neat, if they are real. Thanks! Here's the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...DW:IT&ih=004 Regards, ~neuron Report this Post to the Staff

The Bavarian Thaler could be worth some more if it is authentic, but it is hard to tell with that photograph. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/10/2007 07:53 am The Maria Theresa Thaler is a later issue which usually sells between 10-15 dollars. The Bavarian Thaler of Maximilian III Josef which I would grade as fine is valued at 25 dollars. So you were better off not winning the auction. Report this Post to the Staff
