As for value

The Aluminum examples of the St Stephans Groschen
in uncirculated condition are worth about
$2-$3 USD each. HOWEVER, on eBay circulated examples occasionally sell
for $4-$8 USD plus shipping and occasionally a little more. EBay result
always show the true price of an item but that doesn't always represent

the
true Worth
of that item :-)

I am always amazed at how people will cling to their beliefs regardless of
facts. The only real worth of any item is what someone will pay for it.
Just because so called experts have pegged a value on something does not
mean someone somewhere will not pay more for it. It happens all the time.
Go to any auction and you will see people paying what appear to be insane
prices for things, but at that place in time thats what the item is worth to
that buyer.

Ebay has shown that the open marketplace is very efficient at setting
prices, as anyone who ever took a first semester econ course would know.

Not a coin but a token. See Dale Hallmark's page about the
