[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8432828, member: 110226"]The OP coin is very nice, and the NGC coins are super nice. but pricey. It's hard to determine the grade of the OP coin but it seems to have minimal contact marks, a key factor for these coins which were stored in bags. The 5 lati crowns were minted in 1929, 1931 and 1932. The 1932 date is the scarcest. The model for the obverse was Zelma Brauere (1900 – 1977). [ATTACH=full]1495180[/ATTACH] Here's more information on her: [URL]https://second.wiki/wiki/zelma_brauere[/URL] Also, here's my 5 lati. [B]Latvia, AR 5 Lati, 1931. KM 9 24.96 grams [ATTACH=full]1495181[/ATTACH] [/B] According to my local coin dealer, these coins were scarce before the breakup of the Soviet Union. Following that pivotal event, large numbers of these coins appeared on the market. Still, finding an appealing example is a challenge.[/QUOTE]
