<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xtrmbrdr, post: 606913, member: 17193&quot;]I recently posted a thread asking for input regarding Antarctic coins, initially I had a list of about 10-20 coins, an easy type set, right? Well, my list has climbed to about 50 coins, and a few of these coins are somewhat expensive. A &quot;cheesy&quot; (IMHO) gold plated Australian silver coin with a mintage of 500 from the RAM, which I believe to be the key to this set, which is really a gold plated version of a $100 coin. I found ONE and decide I better buy it, for about $400, as much as I hated to. The next key is a 100E gold coin from Ireland, for about $650, mintage about 2,000; and next up is a fractional gold piece from France for about $250. Other than that, I think most of the rest of the coins can be had for between $100-$200, and not &quot;extremely&quot; difficult.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So back to my original question, there are numerous coins minted by a private mint that are considered legal tender, of which, there are two versions, a copper/nickel BU version and a silver proof version of the same coin. Would you consider your set complete if you only had the copper/nickel BU version and not the silver proof version?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
