Another Swiss beauty

SYRACUSIAN

Slightly later date than Kyle's, it certainly looks better in hand than these terrible scans suggest. Where are you o Darkhorse?

I bought this 1925B 5 francs at a bargain price,

a) because I always wanted to own this big Swiss fiver, the coin looks low end unc with relatively dull luster, but perfect for my new

b) Swiss Confederate Dansco type set that I just bought from Lordmarcovan, so I'll be looking for a lot of raw Swissies for a while and this was my start.

I thought were going to be adding a new Frenchie too?

Those are neat coins!

You'll have a really nice (modern) 5-franc to post when you get the Dansco. It's only a 1963 Red Cross commem but it's a super gem. Ask Dead King- I bought it at the shop where he works.

Nice coin, Dimitri.

Hey, you're cutting in on my action!!

Nice, big fivers are tough to come by. Three more 5 Franc types to go!

Try for a date set run of 1931, 1932, or 1953. All denoms through 5 fr. are represented in those years. Of course, you could go for the fences and get 1907, 1908, or 1909. You also get the 20 fr. with those dates.

Have fun.

Neat start for the Swiss set, Dimitri

Dimitri - that's one of my favorite swiss coins - has a good hefty feel and looks great!! Nice start.
