Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 10/27/2009 03:31 am Hi, I just bought this at US$40.00 and am still wondering wether I shouldve haggled for less, or was it at an acceptable level for the coin?. an 1873 Belgium, Leopold II, 90% silver, 25gram coin at 38mm diameter. Thank you and please, any info on it's circulation number and rarity is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/27/2009 08:51 am From what I can see I would grade this at EF, I can't tell if it's position A or B. Only a $10 difference in value between the both. Krause lists value in EF condition at $25 for A and $35 for B. You might have gotten it a little cheaper, but overall you didn't do too bad. A nice silver coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 10/27/2009 11:06 am I think you could have haggled. I recently bought this coin in mint state (probably MS-61 or 62) for less than $20. I have another in VF35 which I got for $8 two years ago. I see them for sale quite often. But then again - they might be harder to get hold of outside Europe. Report this Post to the Staff

JCM-Houston New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/27/2009 7:48 pm Krause lists a little over 22 million for the mintage, value in inc. is either $60 or $100 depending on if it is position A or B. Unfortuntely I don't collect Belgium so have no idea what the position means. Report this Post to the Staff
