I’m collecting the 20 francs/ Latin monetary union coins.  I have 7 with another 5 on the way.  They’re great to collect.  There are so many different varieties and some beautiful coins.
Most are around bullion value.  There are a few that are a bit more expensive as the mintages are lower. The most expensive I’ve come across so far is the finish 20 markkaa which is around £400.  I’m yet to acquire this coin but I will one day!!  I’ve had quite a few from coininvest over the last few yrs at reasonable prices. Baird have a few too.
Some of the coins have some great history behind them expecially the angel and the early nepolian bonaparte francs.  Out of all my stack, the 20 francs are my favourite.  

Not sure if we have featured finnish 20 Markkaa yet; as all eastern european ‘LMU’ coins these carry more of a premium.


maybe @Xander can post pics of his 7 1/2 Roubles?

Feedback system is dumb, you get "reputation" for being laughed at.

As a general rule the price rises before payday and then falls after a purchase 😃

I hope it falls 10% for a few days around payday.

Party's over boys and girls... I bet you thought you had your late bullion purchase premiums covered. Mwahahaha.😉

Let's hope gold is feeling particularly athletic or is it just a couch potato who made a mad dash to the fridge and tired half way there. 🤣

As usual, @Prophecy you are not wrong!

BBC website always repeats 10 x in their articles about gold saying it doesn't pay dividends or interest etc etc. god the agenda is dire.

You joined a gold and silver bug forum on Friday to tell us you sold your gold and we should do the same. Then you attempt to glorify Mr Wong with his deflation theory sending silver to $4 and gold to whatever it was.
Get out of here - we are hardcore - 

I think, from reading his posts, he just likes winding people up. Nothing especially wrong with that, if that is how you get your jollies and people don’t mind indulging you. It is after all an open forum.

Username checks out.

I'm setting up a gofundme page for poor old Wonger. The dude must be so in the red.

Let's hope they don't charge you the rise in gold price

Connected to the recent announcement by the EU to pump 1.5 trillion euros into the economies? 

Wonger checking the gold price:

I got a nice little 20 lei from toshy yesterday 😁.  Collection is coming along nicely. 

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
