20 Franc Coins Of The LMU

[Kookaburracollector]

@Hannibal

Hi,

Having checked..it looks like I paid double spot for the 1927 20 Franga, and more for the lower grade 1926 (I overpaid maybe for this coin). On the plus side, I only paid 20% above spot for my 1888, and that is looking like a great pick up:-

I do not own a 20 Perpera. I’m only collecting Peruvian Una Libras currently.

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

I have the 20 Drachmas, will be going for the larger 50 Drachmas at a point (when I stop buying smaller stuff all the time! 😅 )

@SVcollector 68 Is a very good grade for the 20D! 👌

The 20 Perpera does not have LMU specs.

There are a fewtypes which are alot rarer than the 20 Franga albania.

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.

Hi, I was looking to buy Napoleon and Louis d'or and found this website. Any of you already ordered there? It's from france, so I was wondering if there are taxes to pay when delivered in UK?

Thanks

Not ordered from them personally. If all goes well, there should be no tax to pay on importing gold, but our customs people don’t always get it right!...then you have a load of hassle....all part of the coin collecting game I’m afraid!

If you ask also about their reputation, the dealers behind this site, Godot & Fils, are quite well known, as far as I can tell. I even have a coin ordered from them last week that is currently on its way to me, although that was through another sales channel, not this exact website. And I am in the EU so no worries about taxes for me.

Did you check also other dealers? Seems that e.g. @coininvest also have 20 francs in stock for fair prices. Maybe they can share some of their experience with delivering gold to the UK if you are interested.

[manolitolondres]

Thanks for your replies, I will check other websites too. Or I might buy them when I will be able to go there

Love the way you're putting it and I'm "stealing" it if I may! 😉😄
Only a French could put it in such an...elegant way. 🙂

[Thebrumie]

Thanks Hannibal 

Feel free to steal it and use it  : no French copyright on that

It's high, but that's not the real market price. Numi shops often offer coins for unreasonably high prices. If they find an uninformed or impatient or just too rich customer who accepts that price, great, if not, they can always sell at the real market price later on. It's the same like some crazy eBay offers you see all the time.

It is a beautiful coin though.  They do usually command quite a premium but that does seem rather high.
