Vfox Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Swiss coins are great, especially older swiss coins, my dealer has a Unc 1922 silver 5 franc in his case, I've been eyeing it for a while, but can't find the extra cash to spend on a pricey coin like that. I do own a smaller 1932 silver 5 franc though, but it's worth about 10% as much, lol. The older (is it rappen?) copper coins are nice, I have a couple of them, and they are pretty cool. Btw, RD, you used 10 smileys in your post, you are a happy camper, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cladking Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I like the Swiss coins. They are extremely well made and remarkably undervalued. Krause has tripled their catalog prices for the cu/ ni francs in the last couple years but they're still way too low. These appear in mint sets so none are rare but mintages were usually only 5 or 10,000. Attrition on these isn't extremely high but the sets are the source of virtually all the singles that have been offerred over the decades. These coins mostly went into circulation and have been heavily worn over the years. Most of the European coins suffered the same fate and were then melted a few years ago. The Swiss coins are some of the few still getting a workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaddevil Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 They are extremely well made and remarkably undervalued. exactly.... an the 1 ones i have that r from 1960's until now all look like proofs except for the mirror like shine...the head an letters an stuff look like they r made from a diff metal thats clean an nice but not shiney while the background or w/e (area next to the head an stuff with no pics just plain xP) is a lil lighter colour an has a lil shine to it kinda like proofs but not proofs get my drift X) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 2 franc 1964-B on AU-50 for 2 bucks from my coin dealer. Silver coins were widely saved all over the world. The only ones that are tough are those with low mintages. Cu/ ni and other base metal coins were usually ignored and some are rare no matter how high the mintages. This appears to be the case with the '68 and later large denomination Swiss coins. These do look really nice in silver so there is widespread demand for the old- er coins. These usually will bring a nice premium in unc and more in gem.
