<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1658365, member: 39&quot;]I collect coins, not specific metals <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but yes, that was a nice thing. Well, &quot;precious&quot; metals are commodities like wheat or gas, and if the price (for me: in euro) goes up, there comes a point when the intrinsic value is higher than the face value. What to do about future issues then - increase the face value? Who knows how expensive the material will be a little later?</p><p><br /></p><p>Nah, what we currently have makes a lot of sense to me: You can get the Cu-Ni version or (in NL for example) an Ag-plated Cu version at face, and people who want silver pay a little more. The only thing that bugs me is that the (surcharged) German silver issues are now Ag 625. Heck, if I pay more than face anyway, why not 925 again?</p><p><br /></p><p>And Goetz (your other post), most of his designs I dislike. Partly because of all his propaganda medals, and here ... the eagle&#039;s head looks strangled <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and the word &quot;Deutsches&quot; is an odd in-between: Not horizontal, and not along the rim either. And now you may call me biased, hehe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
