With this issue you can be certain any example you encounter is a restrike. Very few originals exist and the ones that do are in marginal condition. Generally though a restrike can be determined by lack of patina, wear and tear, and conformity to original design.

Reissue or reproduction coins are becoming an increasing problem to coin collector's. China has developed a cottage industry for the reproduction of collectible coins. The makers are very skilled and even chemically treat the coins to create wear and create a patina.

A number of reproductions have even been authenticated by professional coin grading services.

The best indicator of a coins authenticity may be it's seller. On-line auctions are the most common method of selling this type coin and not surprisingly, many of the sellers are located in China. So if a coin doesn't come from a traditional source, be wary. And as always, if a deal seems to good to be true it probably is.

What is the value of a 1780 Maria Theresa Thaler?

There are a few things to realize about a 1780 Maria Theresa Thaler: Your coin was NOT minted in 1780, the Austrian mint has produced Maria Theresa Thalers fixed at Maria Theresa's death in 1780, most likely your coin was made in the 20th or 21st century. That doesn't mean your coin is worthless it just means that your coin isn't several hundred years old. Since they are restrikes, they don't have much of a premium over silver value, today they run around $25-30 depending on silver price and the condition of the coin.

First, it is highly unlikely your coin was struck in 1780, the Maria Theresa thaler has been struck in large quantities from 1780 all the way to the present day. If you are really interested, there are ways to determine by the die if yours is an older strike or a newer one. But generally, these coins sell for silver scrap, or perhaps a bit more. You should easily be able to sell it for $20-25 depending on the price of silver.
