bestbuy New Member Czech Republic 3 Posts	Posted 10/02/2008 08:50 am Thank you very much. I have a few more questions. Is it possible to see any graph with progress of price after the Euro arrived ?

So I (usually ) check prices when buying coins but do not really need charts. There is a website in German that provides some price info about euro coins/sets (not about pre-euro coins) from selected countries. http://www.silvas.de/Preise.htm Prices are based on ebay auction results ...
