<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1416671, member: 24091&quot;]My recent addition came from Germany.&nbsp; Maybe there are more in the market there.&nbsp; The key is find an example that hasn&#039;t been cleaned.&nbsp; It&#039;s a nice looking coin even if XF if it still has original surfaces.&nbsp; There is also 5 Lire crown size issue of this coin dated 1914, that is out of this world expensive.&nbsp; Heritage has one up for bid at the upcoming CICF.&nbsp; The estimate on it is something like $5,000 so no point for me to even dream about owning it.&nbsp; Also a 1911 Italian 5 Lire, the commemorative issue which is also very attractive, but again very expensive, many thoudands.&nbsp; In any case, agree with you about Italian coins and currency, some of the most beautiful coins and banknotes out there, and in a lot of ways responsibe for me being a collector of world coins instead of the United States.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
