20 Francs minted in London 

I thought this might be interested for you guys from england who are interested in LMU gold coins.

Sorry for the bad picture quality, my phone camera is bad and I had no sunlight at all.

Too bad this piece has some stuff on the rim but it's stil a nice piece of history.

Very informative topic here.

I'm just starting out with PM and latin monetary union coins hit all the right notes: they're fractal so I could afford a new one much more often, plenty of beautiful designs and prices very close to spot for the most common releases.

I have a question for collectors: how easy are they to sell (in the EU)?

Is there any issue (when it comes to selling) in the fact they are .900 gold?

I have a couple of sovereigns and from observing the forum here for the past month or so, it seems to me they are highly sought after and selling for close to the purchase price wouldn't be an issue. Is it similar with latin monetary union coins?

This is probably the final question I have before deciding whether to pull the trigger or not.

Thanks!

I am located in germany and I can tell you that these coins have a low spread and are well known here. For a standard piece in average condition you will always get at least spot price on the secondary market.
