Nice stuff! Does the Austrian Half-Schilling have a date??

Great stuff. So US and Austria are you main collection areas now?

Thanks Tommy...1925 is the date

Ummmm.... ya sort of Art

OK so it's US and Austria and any other country, past or present.

I'm kinda behind for posting pics... and do I ever wish I would kept up with it cuz it will take forever now Please excuse some of the "not so good shots" as I was rushing (no patience ) I'm going to attempt to get the pics rolling more steady so I'm not back logged. Anyone else hit with the "lazy bug"?

Enough for now, the Schillings are much nicer in hand ..the photographer is well.......

That is okay, we like you anyways:)

Thank you

Terrific coins. I like the reverse on the Austrian coins with all of the shields.

Interesting how the number of those shields varies on Austrian collector coins. In the First Republic, until 1934, there were the shields of the nine states plus the federal "Bindenschild". During the authoritarian regime ('34-'38) the state shields were gone. In the Second Republic, they first used the nine state shields only. Then, in mid-1964, a tenth shield with the eagle was added. In 1996 the federal eagle shield was gone again, so since then we have had the nine state shields ...

But on quite a few coins (and on all silver coins nowadays) they use individual obverses and reverses. Nicer for most collectors.

Thanks Christian I didn't realize that, I am struck by a lot of the designs on the Austrian Schillings and also find the shield reverses very attractive.

Whats that all about Art?

Love all that Austrian silver.

Yes... me too Art Just got the 1966 25 Schilling ...gotta get a pic

That is an impressive collection. The eagle design of the last coin you presented is quite to my liking. I like the blockiness. Is that a word?

Thank you Graikos...and you can make up any word you like
