They are suprising not that expensive, all of them well under 20 dollars each. Turns out they can be very affordable. __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   11-06-2009, 12:56 PM   #2 (permalink) TheBigH Senior Member   Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 578 That one looks like an ID tag. Do you have any idea of the mintages for these? They're very nice, especially the copper-nickel/silver on in the cellophane.   11-06-2009, 01:08 PM   #3 (permalink) gxseries Coin Collector   Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,900 TheBigH, I have got no idea about the mintage of the Chilean pattern coins. However about the Armenian ones, they seem to be a mintage of 2000 each. I'm still looking for the nickel-copper unc (not proof) version. __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   11-06-2009, 01:13 PM   #4 (permalink) TheBigH Senior Member   Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 578 Wow, that's a really low mintage for $20. The prices you can get world coins for compared to U.S. coins is amazing.   11-06-2009, 03:50 PM   #5 (permalink) scottishmoney Yep   Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Krasny Vostok Posts: 2,533 I wonder with the Armenian coins though, are they patterns or fantasies? Sometimes the line blurs a bit with some of the ex-USSR countries, I know with Ukraine for awhile there were different entities creating all sorts of "proposed" coins - and occasionally some of them slipped into circulation - I got a 25 kopek in change this summer that appears to be a pattern. It can be sort of akin to the Euro coins from countries like Latvija and Great Britain. Sometimes they can be uncomfortably close to the authentic type coinage. __________________   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
