RHM22 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I've been imaging some world proof coins lately, but my main focus right now is shooting talers and other Swiss coins. My 1939 Lucerne 5 franc is on this page and my 1934 Fribourg will be arriving soon: http://www.omnicoin.com/user_view.aspx?id=RHM22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHM22 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Here's my newest acquisition. It's a 1913 Swiss gold 10 franc: This is a rare event for me. Even though this is a small coin, I don't own many gold coins at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Great coins. The 10F is a nice way to get some gold into your collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHM22 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thanks, Art! I want to get a 20 franc some day, but I always think of the nice schützentaler I could get for the same amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHM22 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Here's my newest addition. It's an 1883 Lugano schützentaler NGC MS64. Normally I don't buy graded coins, but I really wanted a Lugano and this does give some certainty to the purchase. Sorry about the bad picture. I'm going to retake them today or tomorrow.

Hussulo Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Great coins RHM. The Swiss gold 10 franc is a nice coin and one I haven't got for my gold collection yet. I really like the design on your latest schützentaler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHM22 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thanks, Hussulo! The gold 10 francs are a great bullion or collector coin. I got mine for about $12 over melt, which I thought was pretty good, since it's probably AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Welcome to Coin People RHM22! Always nice to see someone as mental as myself over Swiss coins and medals. Not that your mental or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHM22 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks, hiho! I don't mind to called mental at all when it comes to Swiss coins! Nobody can design a coin or engrave a coinage die like the Swiss. The French can compete, but I never really found myself very interested in French coins or medals, or really medals of any type for that matter. I will have to buy a shooting medal one day, though!

RHM22 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Great coins! I think it's odd how the Helvetia portraits on the Vreneli 10 and 20 francs are different from each other. She seems to look a little dim-witted on the 20 franc for some reason, and she's almost looking down. I wonder why the design is slightly different.

Art Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Beautiful coins. I like the 1886 better but they're both wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Salmons Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Great looking coins and Art I like the 1886 better to. I don't have any gold coins in my collection but it is a goal to have some someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHM22 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I used to think that any gold coin was out of my price range, but there are actually some very affordable options. No classic U.S. gold coin sells for anywhere near bullion (unless it's holed or something), but many world coins sell for just slightly above spot price. When I bought my 10 francs, the bullion value was $112, and I paid $120. The larger the gold coin, the lower the premium, but the cost is of course a lot higher.

netFish Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I like your gold coins ! They are very nice.....kind of expensive for me now, but who knows , may be one day. I really like Russian and Polish coins, but you made me interested in Swiss ones ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you guys, usually buy the coins? Is there any "trusted" place over the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
