Message:: [QUOTE="Fid, post: 426536, member: 7724"]then it would be nice to have clear pics, as said before.but the price is of no interest ? really ? you "recently accuired" it. you know what ? seems you don't understand the gold coin business at all. it's a marketing industry by itself that went completely astray thanks to QVC and other krap TV channels. and of course the gnomes of Zurich take advantage of it. "is the american bloodhound Christoph Meili still around ? still on social security ? send him to our vaults, he will certainly find those Franzl coins..."and the same in Germany, where Heinrich and Hellmute from Degussa jump around from joy !even when we take normal auction houses; did you ever think what happens when you bring in the coin ? most probably you want at least the gold price plus the 20 to 30 % that you have to pay for it being properly listed: the buyer's premium is another 20 to 30 %. so, at the end of the day - if sold at all - we're a whopping 40 to 60 % over the gold value ! and believe it or not, those coins were widely spread as a personal security not only in Austria and Hungary but in the whole Habsburg empire ![/QUOTE]
