I just started recently collecting Swiss coins, I have been picking up early 1930's and 40's 1/2, 1, and 2 Francs and have one with die clashing on both sides and one with doubling of the stars and lettering on the obverse. Is there coins known for having alot of die varieties? Thanks

    Die clashing and doubling is fairly uncommon with Swiss silver, or even bronze for that matter, but they do not really carry any premiums worth noting.

    What to look for are off-metal (wrong-metal) strikings. These have a decent demand.

    If you are interested in pursuing Swiss Federal coinage obtain a copy of HMZ, or subscribe to Money Trends or Numispost (the ANA should also carry copies of these in their loan library). Also, subscribe or obtain some copies of the UBS Numismatik auction sales (particular the Jan sale) as they often have several lots of Swiss error coins listed.
