Got a few LMU on my last sale topic on the buy and sell EU forum (ungraded)

I knew I had to hide them better 

Now it s gone forever

I think in regards to the global context and war coming thanks to our nice elites it s best to not use any storage service. Just my 1 cent.

Umm...be careful what you wish for.   It might come and bite you.  

Dedollarization = collapse of US dollar as global reserve currency = global SHTF.  Dedollarization will happen, but I hope not in my lifetime.  Because if you think economic conditions are bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet.   

 

I am not necessarily wishing it , i know it will backfire at us , but maybe better to be poor and restart on a  good basis where nations and sovereign currencies are respected , than this big house of cards which leads us to WW III 

Not an expert , but the fixed peg can change . 

which means that if the rubles strengthens (which will be the case) , they can change the fixed ratio gold/ruble.

Great to see a "dedollarization" happening.

Why does it? 🙋‍♂️

It's not a swiss cross.

It is the coat of arms of Savoia 

the House of Savoy led the Italian unification in 1860 and ruled the Kingdom of Italy until 1946. Vittorio Emmanuele and Umberto (can't remember the numbers) on that coins were part of this family.

Yes, you're right.
My mistake. The 20 Perpera doesn't have LMU specs after all.

When you're saying a few types are a lot rarer, do you mean types of mainstream ones (e.g. swiss, french), or do you mean types from different countries all together? In case of the latter, can you mention a couple of examples?

There is a full list available depends on your criterias. The best is to use numista and the detailed search tool inside . I personally collect only LMU from 1865-1927 period and only circulated coins. This already gives you access to around 40 coins , some of them extremely expansive and rares and some of them close to spot.

I ve never done any panning or stuff like this but I admit that a nugget has some kind of supernatural power of attraction , even through the screen.

cross-post from "today i received"

eceived recently :  3 coins

1- Austria-Hungary 20 Francs /8 Forint 1890 - features an eagle , from Fiume region , only present on some 1890 1891 & 1892.

2- Kingdom of Serbs , Croats and Slovenians ( a brief kindgom preceding Yugoslavia)  20 Dinara 1925 

3- 10 Francs - Switzerland - 1922 

The one with the young princess usually commands a slightly higher premium due to its unrivalled beauty 

My last 20 francs LMU acquisitions including a few rare coins 

20 franga ari 1927 - Albania - King Ahmet Zogu

20 leva 1908 - Bulgaria- Ferdinand I ( Déclaration of Indépendance )

20 Lei 1906- Romania - 40th Anniversary of Carol 

20 drachma - Greece - 1884

Many thanks to @richatthecroft (kindly sold me the coin on the left),for allowing me to play a game of sport the difference!

                                                        Re-strike                                                                                                  Original

No prizes for guessing they are both French 20 franc Roosters from 1906..but are they? One isn’t 🤔?
The coin on the left, is in fact a re-strike, and not an original. I had suspected for a long time that two different variations of this year existed, but until both were ‘in-hand’ I couldn’t be 100% sure..now I am.

1906 is the only year that a rooster can have two different edge inscriptions. Why the French decided to do this, I do not know (Please advise if you know).see below

With the aid of a dessert fork!..we can easily compare the two coin edges together.

The coin at the top has the inscription LIBERTE EQUALITE FRATERNITE and is the re-strike, the inscription on the original coin, is DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE ( God Protect France)..

Another small piece in the numismatic jigsaw fits into place😃.

Hello

About the non-restrike rooster :

From 1899 to 1905 they have DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE 

From 1906 to 1914 the coins have LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ following   the 1905 law about separation of the ( catholic ) Church and the state . This is the secular ( and   masonic ) motto of the French  Republic which is still ongoing today. 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1905_French_law_on_the_Separation_of_the_Churches_and_the_State

Restrike rooster :

they are called Pinay restrike ; that was the name of the minister of the economy. They were produced between 1951 and 1960 and were given years between 1907 and 1914. They can be recognized because they are usually uncirculated and have a slightly different tone. They all have LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ

Hope this helps

Is it possible to let us know the price? (if not please PM), I'm looking to buy some piece of history from my country (this coins are rare here, most got melted during the communist era) Thx

Hi @daca @MrTTI was the one selling to @Lea79

I don't have any now in stock but let me know in PM how much you can pay for that and I will try to find you one 

Mr TT be careful because catawiki shows the price without the commission I think .

and it s not an ideological thing , i just do not like when coins have a bit colored and the rest not colored.
