    That lower gold coin has some luster to spare going on! Is it worth slabbing? Are they Franc's?

    Nah, those are Austrian ducats. They were minted by Austria for hundreds of years as they were in many other European countries. These ones dated 1915 are pretty, but they're restrikes. Strictly bullion pieces. Like a lot of the European gold (francs, ducats, Coronas), they sell for virtually no premium. The flipside is that they're not as easy to unload--or so I'm told. They're on the greysheet, so any dealer will have instant access to their value.

    I've never seen anyone balk at them, but they wouldn't be the best choice for strictly SHTF pieces.

    But they weigh .1106 agw, so they're bigger than 1/10th oz coins.

    Weiss, when you sell your stash and buy a yacht, will you take us on a cruise around the Chicago Skyline on Lake Michigan? Is that Gold Eagle something that RYK might like?

    Meltdown, nice $20 roll you have there!image

    jmski52, if I sell my gold a yacht will be the last thing on any of our minds image

    And I agree with meltdown, fivecents, those constitution pieces are some of best designs in the modern era. Great score if you got 'em cheap.

    Lunch pickup:

    Been a slow couple of weeks for me - nothing new. Here are a couple of my favorite constructs though, in keeping with fivecents post.

    Purchased about a month ago but just finished paying it off - so I just picked it up. You can say I am very happy about the recent run-up. So a quick snap-shot before she gets stashed away

    I am almost done with my conversion from Ag to Au.
    These are my newps for the week. I think I got 2 of the most beautiful coins of my whole collection: AGE proof (unfortunately too small!) and Russian George the Victorious. (poor pics, sorry)

    I like the Russian piece - where do you get those from?

    << <i>I like the Russian piece - where do you get those from? >>



    It's a reverse proof, really beautiful. They started this bullion series in 2006, I will be trying to get the whole series.
    I found an auction on eBay and since I have my bucks to redeem I placed a pretty high bid.
    I saw another one from a seller in Germany but the price was too high and the shipping charges were 31 euros.

    I also have the 1oz silver bullion, 2009 and 2010. Very nice as well.

    Cap'n, how do ducats and the other common euro stuff figure into your buy/sell prices?

    We are selling very few ducats these days. Everybody wants ounces or even fractions.

    My local dealer pays around spot -2% and sells for spot plus 12 dollars on most french francs.

    I have never had a trouble selling old european gold, and given the low premiums compared to AGE...they seem like a good deal to me.

    1/10 gold eagle are selling for 165 ....they buy at spot.

    and besides the numismatic factor of holding 100 years old gold coins is pretty cool to me regardless of wether most dealers treat them as "just bullion"
