[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 2401052, member: 16729"]Thanks for your kind words! I spend every-other summer there, and I lived there for a few years in a row some time ago.

But getting back to the OP: The confusion here around NGC's World Coin numbers is just a part of the many unknowns about world coins. That's why I encourage people who have specific and extensive knowledge of foreign numismatic markets and coins (especially modern issues) to write about those coins in English, in order to add to our knowledge about them.
