<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1366068, member: 24091&quot;]The aforementioned 1929 Albanian 100 Franga was never struck for circulation, only as a prova.&nbsp; Which, in Krause at least, is listed in a seperate section of the catalog.&nbsp; As for Friedberg and Krause both listing the 1926 coin, I suspect Krause simply lifted the information from Frieberg without any verification of the coins existence.&nbsp; The fact that the value of the coin is obviously wrong, only reinforces the idea that the coin doesn&#039;t really exist, -certainly not as a circulation strike in any case.&nbsp; As for any coin not showing-up for 20+ years on the market, aside from unique or nearly unique specimens, it&#039;s pretty much unheard of.&nbsp; In the case of the Albanian 20 Frange Skenderbeg issue with the fasces privy mark, the coin has a mintage of 10 and yet I&#039;ve seen it listed several times in the past 20 years in auction catalogs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
