<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 58023, member: 708&quot;]To be honest i&#039;d have to hold up my hands and admit i&#039;d rather take the clad. Dunno why maybe it&#039;s because i&#039;m interested in the history of the coins and what they&#039;ve seen when they&#039;re out there jingling in pockets, rather than the intrinsics. Some might think i&#039;m mad, even i do at times, but there you go.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love 17th century British tin coins, a highly problematic series due to being made out of an unsuitable metal but when i see a decent well preserved specimen of one of those i get far more excited about it than i would about a UNC 1686 Crown. Which is truly rarer?</p><p><br /></p><p>Same with my German coins, a zinc 5 reichspfennig with mint lustre is far more entertaining than a BU Silver 5 Reichsmark. Simply because zinc is less resistant to corrosion, and therefore a BU 5 reichspfennig is something to marvel at.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
