Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew an online coin dealer that has the 2013 French Sower coin in stock. So far the only one I've been able to find is American Precious Metals but I'd rather not have to pay $13 for shipping!!! Thanks!!!
Nice coin too but what stoster38 is looking for is this piece: (obv) http://www.monnaiedeparis.fr/is-bin...R/Produits/Verso/10041281410000-ZoomVerso.jpg (rev) http://www.monnaiedeparis.fr/is-bin...R/Produits/Recto/10041281410000-ZoomRecto.jpg This year's Semeuse/Sower coins are about the 40th anniversary of the mint in Pessac (where the French coins are produced) and about the MétaLmorphoses project in Paris. Not sure where to buy them in the US though ... Christian
I know it's hard to find coin. Apparently it's a low mintage this year. They are only going to mint 10,000. The normal dealers I use don't even list it and one of the dealers told me that the French mint is requiring a minimum order to get the coin at all. The dealer didn't tell me what that minimum is but I'm sure it's more than the 1 coin I want to get lol. I have bought from the French mint directly many years ago when the dollar was stronger. I did send a message to the French Mint, on their Facebook page, to see what shipping costs would be if I did order through them directly. Otherwise I may have to bite the bullet and buy from American Precious Metals.
Have not ordered directly from the French Mint for quite a while - I am in Germany, and even when ordering from here, I would have to pay €29 for P&P. (Same as shipping to the US, I think.) Thanks, but no thanks. Just had a brief look around; this dealer used to have it http://rsmint.com/2013france10eurosilverproofcoinsower.aspx but it apparently is out of stock. Don't know whether it would make sense to ask ... Christian
Lol that's one of the dealers I regularly use and that's the dealer I asked. They're the ones who told me about the minimum order requirement. Thanks for looking though!!
Well buying from the French Mint and having it shipped here is out of the picture. I went and started entering my order after including the shipping it would convert to almost $100!!! So it seems like I'll be getting it from American Precious Metals after all!!
Sorry it took so long but finally had some time to take pics. Coin looks great!! The lighting wasn't the best. I should have taken the pics in daylight as opposed to my room's light lol
