<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1468437, member: 39&quot;]Unfortunately the French mint only makes part of the issue volume available at face - and if you&#039;re not among the happy few (as I mentioned, it&#039;s easier with the silver coins), you pay more. Dealers around here charge about €1,200 for that gold thing ...</p><p><br /></p><p>But it still is a move in the right direction. For several years, the Monnaie de Paris would demand hefty surcharges; they still do that with most of their silver/gold collector coins. But there are exceptions, such as the &quot;Sower in Motion&quot; series or the Hercules pieces. A pretty clever thing is what they did with the &quot;Euros of the Regions&quot;: Such a piece honoring a French region (say, Burgundy) can be had at face at post offices in that region. Now if you want to have them all (27, I think), you either need to travel or swap a lot ... or buy them and pay a little more. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
