Egypt 20 piastres Silver Coins

zompels

Two Egypt pieces from my collection , AH1341//1923 EGYPT S20pia,KM-338, Fuad I (1922-1936) & AH1358//1939 EGYPT S20pia KM-368 Farouk (1936-1952).
Difficult coins in mint state. Many have heavy bag marks due to the production process and most were spent not hoarded.
Egypt 1923 20 Piastres Silver NGC MS63 ( NGC census shows one in 64 ex Lissner Collection and one in 63 probably this one)
Egypt 1939 20 Piastres Silver NGC MS64

I know the series well and how tough it is to get the Farouk and Fuad crowns in such grade. Well done!

No I'm never gonna do it without the fez on

A lot of the older Egyptian silver is very tough in Unc. Nice circulated grades can be
found with a little effort but coins with a lot of luster are not readily available.

I suspect some of the aluminum and cu/ ni will prove to be the same. The coins tend
to get used instead of saved. The low prices of even the silver is reflective of a low
demand rather than a high supply.
