<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1366056, member: 112&quot;]I dunno Christian. I probably know more about ducats than all but a handful of people on the planet, but I can assure you that there are plenty of them I have never run across. That doesn&#039;t mean they don&#039;t exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>And you have to consider the sources we&#039;re talking about. I mean Krause is not just some fly-by-night guy that wrote a book. They have been around almost forever and have the foremost numismatists in the world as contributors. Then you have the Friedbergs, sons of the man who many consider to be one of the worlds greatest authorities on world gold and who continue his work. Again with the help of leading numismatists around the world. </p><p><br /></p><p>So when you have two sources like that both confirming the same thing - it&#039;s kind of hard to ignore them and presume that a given coin doesn&#039;t exist just because we have never seen one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if someone can come up with a book written by a specialist on Albanian coinage and in that book the author explains why the standard references are wrong regarding this coin and that the coin was never actually minted. OK, I&#039;d buy that. But short of that, I&#039;d have to go with what we have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
