Coins - small change
I saw a good spread of coins today at my favourite dealer. I
bought five out of ten or so Nineteenth Century Italian coins. Some of them
neither I nor the dealer had ever seen before. They included coins from the
Kingdom of Italy set up by Napoleon, Lombardy/Venetia controlled by Austria and
Tuscany. An interesting set of coins in reasonable condition. None worth a
fortune.
Why were they all low denominations? They were one, five or
ten cent coins so what happens to the larger coins? I was offered a large
collection last week of over a hundred and fifty coins. Not one large
denomination coin at all .
