<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ab initio, post: 2587370, member: 80317&quot;]Did you know that the late Leo Mildenberg, the founder of the Bank Leu numismatic department, owned a fine collection of Greek miniatures, all weighing below one gram? In fact, as he was able to carry his collection in his pocket, he saved it when he escaped from a Siberian forced labor camp just after WWII. This collection was then enriched further in the 50&#039;s and 60&#039;s and eventually sold to a Paris collector who went on to build a very extensive collection of fractions that I had the privilege to admire a few years ago. There must be over one thousand silver miniatures there and it took me a whole day to examine and admire each one of them. Their eventual fate is uncertain as the collector vows to keep them until... &#039;Death do us part&#039;...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
