Another metal

Today these 2 coins arrived. The Panda 2022 in a very nice motif as I find as well as the commemorative coin from Germany "Birth of Christ" as a Christmas coin. The weight is 22g and is made of fine silver 999. Greetings from Maxe  

Finally got a Napoleonic issue from the Rome mint - 1813 gold 20 francs

Very interesting (and again VERY heavy!)  package arrived today...

Tied closed for over 50 years...

Even before decimalisation...

Only a fiver worth...

Of uncirculated copper pennies.

from 1967

Yet another piece of Napoleonic silver - this time Italian 1811M 2 Lire - much better than the grade suggests, clean fields and lots of lustre. Might have regraded!
 

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.

Love those fractional gold coins, so much history.

I love South American coins, especially because many have the weight and purity on them. I live in Colombia have bought several this past year at spot (mostly from Colombia). Many are worn and in used condition, not BU. Some are proof coins with wear; it's a shame they were not taken care of. But gold is gold, right? Especially when able to get them at spot or lower sometimes. There are not many options of buying or a huge gold market like in other countries.

Thanks to @morezone for these two

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.

A bit of Scandinavian Francs

Swedish 10 Francs

It’s not the highest grade, but happy with my first Drachma thanks to @SVcollector

Beautiful and can usually be found in BU condition!

Lmu are my favorite coins, the box is obviously a diy

Not LMU, but SCU ( Scandinavian Currency Union ) 🤠

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.

The Romanian coin is twice available from our forum meber @Toshunya86  for 350. Good deal in my opinion.

The 20 Perpera does not have LMU specs.
There are a fewtypes which are alot rarer than the 20 Franga albania.

The 20 Franga carry a large premium..but my goodness they are worth it. I have a large, and diverse coin collection, and without a doubt...the finest coins in my collection are my two Skanderbegus 


They do come up for auction quite frequently...I bought one from Goldberg’s and one from Greece... Although expensive, I do think they are worth every cent.
