<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2434939, member: 112&quot;]I guess the reason the nobody seems interested is because, and I hate to put it this way - nobody cares. You see, what you are talking about aren&#039;t even thought of as coins. To most of the world they are considered to be little more than novelty items. So quite frankly, nobody, or at the most very, very few, collect them. So however many were minted, doesn&#039;t really matter, nor does it affect their value.</p><p><br /></p><p>To give you an example of what I am talking about this coin, if memory serves the mintage was 135 or thereabouts -</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]506386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506387[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>- and it was piedfort essai struck in gold. But I was able to buy it for considerably less than melt, which is the only reason I did buy it - its gold value.</p><p><br /></p><p>And there are many coins like this, minted by various countries all over the world, some with mintage numbers under 25. And yet they never sell for more than their bullion value, if they have any, because nobody wants them. It&#039;s the same thing with the coins you&#039;re talking about.</p><p><br /></p><p>And realize, I am in no way belittling the coins you choose to collect, I am merely trying to explain why you will have a hard time finding answers, and why coins like these have little if any value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
