"Michael Benveniste" wrote in message ... Because paying buyer's premiums for bullion coins is normally a losing game. I refuse to pay a buyer's premium, ever. What a joke. |

Wonder if the local convience store would have change? It is a beautiful coin, but I suspect that if I ever buy a Maple Leaf I'll have to settle for a 1/10th oz. |

Not every article that is a "coin" is usable change, and not everything that has been "usable change" has been what we think of as a coin. Anyway, we all know the largest coins are the Yap Islands stone money. Some of the Swedish plate dalers got pretty big, too, though nowhere near as large as the Canadian example. And at least the plate dalers circulated a bit! Padraic Tony "Iagos Fool" wrote in message news It is just under 268 troy pounds -- over 3200 troy ounces.

Rather like the vast amount of electronic money actually in circulation...it's all just electrons. Physical money doesn't actually move -- just the owner changes.

Imagine the embarrassment if it rated only a PR67. Who would want it then? |
