Weiss

Sent off a bunch of Chinese silver and smaller gold to NGC a few months ago and the last pieces returned late last week.
Got anything interesting, rare, scarce, fun lately?

I have a nice Chinese Fatman piece I tried to give to Anacs last month at a local show and the guy told me they were not currently taking Chinese pieces because of so many fakes currently out there.

Here's a neat roll of 64-D Quarters still sealed with tape by somebody in 1965.

The 1935 Swiss piece is really cool. It's a restrike, and the "L" in "LB" stands for "Lingot", or bullion. To me that makes it one of the earliest sovereign examples of a bullion coin.

I got this copper from the Football Hall of Fame when I was able to visit there in November 🏈 🏉

Nazi Germany used the Swiss as their bankers. In an effort to hide the origins of their holocaust gold, the Nazi's made arrangements with the Swiss to refine and coin a lot of their holocaust gold into 20Franc gold coins of this same design. The coins were back dated to further hide the origin of the gold.

That really says it all. Isn't authentication their raison d'être?

Exactly what I said to the guy, he couldn't answer me.

It started with the regular proof, then I wanted the normal one matching. Then I located these. The holders present the coins well!

Here’s the others:

Those are really sharp @asheland! 😎

Pretty excited to add this nice JM bar to the collection.
