Just a little remix. Still trying to buy these...but they prove elusive.

Wow! Beautiful coin. Mark does excellent work.

<-----------------------Dimitri just passed out, I'm a friend waiting for the ambulance. Before he did, he said he'll gladly trade his 1909 with this one.

For this, you receive a well deserved

Über SUCK™ Award......................................

P.S. Dimitri's '09 is not really that far behind. Let us know if Dimitri is doing OK.

Came across this old thread doing some Swiss research today...just a bump for old times sake. Interesting to think of how the world has changed in six years.

Elusive? I suppose that depends on your time horizon.

The economy? or changed in other ways? Are you still collecting these?

coinlieutenant

Economically mainly...and politically.

I still buy them if the opportunity presents itself....which is once in a blue moon.

That is stunning!

John, you were wise to buy the finest 1916 5F and to hold on to, and even increase your Swiss coins. In case you didn't notice, a 1850 PCGS MS67 franc sold for $4K in NYINC Heritage's auction, and the same prices were realized by two 5F , a 1851 and a 1874 both MS65. You need one of these for your set.

I think I remember that one being a standout in a montage you posted a while back. Perhaps in a Box of 20 thread?
