You take too much pleasure in beating out fellow board members on coins

There are 7 early Swiss silver commemorative 5 franc coins, 6 of which can be had for much less than Krause such as in this Swiss ebay auction, where all 6 are offered except the rare Laupen, that cats for above $1000 in BU. Many are also offered slabbed individually.I was lucky to get the entire series in BU and in a Capital case, as I needed all 7 of them for my Dansco album.

edit: well, I actually needed only 6, as lordmarcovan who sold me the album, had already filled the Red Cross slot with a beautiful MS66-67 coin (from Aethelred's shop I believe) that I removed , because the grade was too much for an album, my MS63-64 from the set I bought does the job just fine, so I sent it to the slabber to try and make up for some of the rest of this album's purchases.Soon on an ebay near you, all dressed up in NGC colours.
