    What a useful summary. Interesting that the Papal States immediately debased silver coinage and that exploitative trading was such a big issue! 
    I wonder how long the Euro will last as it is debased by QE (I noticed that they have restarted it on 1st November). I believe that its something like $3trillion currently

    I wonder what sort of story some of these older bars have behind them, particularly from some of the older banks/mines that no longer exist

    In the 2020 stacking goals thread I wrote of my desire to add at least one each $5 and $10 Canadian gold coins minted between 1912 - 1914. These coins were among the first to really appeal to me when I got in to collecting in my late teens yet they've always felt out of reach. Today I took great pleasure in receiving and unwrapping one I had recently bought. I love everything about the design of these coins and will very much cherish this one.

    If only, the banks don't care about gold, they just devalue their curency, America right now is upset because other countries have devalued theirs more then a erica has so we end up with a strong currency we don't want just by being the one who dedint weaken it's currency enough.

    interesting bit of reading may be worth a quick read
    does that mean a coin we collect from papal state is not 100% correct on its gold /silver content 🤔

    I think 20 franc coins of the LMU would be a good change.

    There are some things that are just way too interesting to pass on.  This came at a bit of a premium but I loved it. Look at the detail! And it’s 1944! 

    In those times you could be studying needlework in the Institutes of Technology! 
    Odd there are no hallmarks but tests fine.

    Sorry to change the discussion slightly as the price has had a major 6hour spike, but wondered if anyone had used Malcolm Ellis Coins; and if so were they reliable? and would you recommend them to your Forum friends?
