Dear readers Numismatica Ranieri in this post we will discover how it is created and how the law a coin. In the previous post we told you about some useful techniques to know how to clean a rare coin and how to photograph the rare coins and ancient. Today we will bring our focus to the previous step on the idea of manufacture of a currency and its subsequent reading. Good read.
How it is created and how the law a Coin
Normally, prior to the coinage series of coins intended for circulation are carried out on projects, which, after having passed some tests, technical (measures, weight and fineness) and aesthetic (approval of the issuing authority) pass to the stage of evidence.
The proof is in everything and for everything to be equal to the exemplary "normal" but with the word "TEST" written in characters of minutes in the field (generally in the R/).
The testing is not considered to be a modern invention; it is already in the centuries produced some of the specimens, test precisely, using a metal different from the original, almost always copper, or lead. These specimens passed, then submitted to the authority for the authorization to proceed.
For too long bistrattati by dealers and collectors, to the point that some of the specimens has been obliterated the words TRY to increase the value and marketability (piece 5 lire 1914, it is the most striking example), the trials and projects have experienced in recent years, a remarkable increase of admirers.
The sector is far from easy: there are no texts and manuals that facilitate the collector in the research, are not always known the number of copies produced (still very low), and, at times, all of the metals used for the execution of the prototype (and thus the possible pleasant surprises).
Ultimately it is a type of collection which is "abnormal," which, given the rarity of the pieces and the high prices, don't recommend at all.
Chapter currencies from the investment
Different story, instead, for the coins, investment gold or Bullion coins, according to the anglo-saxons. Within this context, all of those coins, in gold, minted in great quantities by sovereign States and that, precisely due to their extreme availability, are of no interest at the level of the collectible.
It follows that the market price is only bound to the price of the metal and does not know the dictates of the world numismatic, where rarity, conservation, and – why not – any mode, determine the values and interests.
In this particular sector, everything is bought and sold in the same way as a common lingotto.
Gold has always been a good shelter maybe the good refuge for excellence. Easily concealable – marketable in any part of the world – evaluable with ease (there are official rates that can be found on many newspapers; this is its strength.
No one knows who you are, and then no one will try to rubartelo. Does not require maintenance costs, such as houses, nor special knowledge as to the precious stones and is not subject to taxation. The need you can also decide to purchase or for the sale in a piecemeal manner, something which is impossible with bonds because of the cuts are definitely higher.
For these reasons, perhaps even more so in the fact that in the ’70s and ’80s, this blond metal has made the happiness of many investors, and even today many people believe in gold as an alternative – or, anyway, collectively, to other forms of investment.
These are coins from the investment the most popular.
