<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ageka, post: 19741, member: 1485&quot;]Around 1970 I bought all kinds of gold 20 Francs ( Belgian, French, Suisse ) Sovereigns and 10 Florins from a bank on a regular basis and put them in a bankvault</p><p>Around 1970 there was still a 25% numismatic value on old Sovereigns and other old coins</p><p>When I wanted to sell the coins around 1980 they were suddenly all jewellers coins, cleaned, shiny etc and the same bank offered 5% below melt to have them melted ; the premium was gone too</p><p>I showed them the purchase slips and they compromised ; they would buy back five coins and they never wanted to see me again</p><p>Now I am a chemical engineer and took the challenge ; they wanted dirty coins : they would get dirty coins</p><p>So I put all the coins on a high place above my french fry oilkettle</p><p>I turned the coins weekly</p><p>After three months of dayly french fries the condensed fats ( I used solid fat in my kettle ) had made the coins real sticky</p><p>I then collected dust from my ten year old wine bottles and saturated the fat with dust until the coins were dry and not sticky</p><p>I was then able to sell the coins for normal value to the bunch of guys that tried to defraude me in the first place</p><p>The coins looked really icky and 100 year old , no minting lustre left</p><p>But that was what the bank wanted dirty old coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
