Got a mail today...
I wonder what's inside...
Ooow, a card postal! Let's open it!
5 sexy silver coins! Nice!
Wonder what they are? Ok, let's have a quick look!
A 30 drachmai from 1963 or 18 g of 0.835 silver! One of my favorite Greek coins, featuring not one, not two, not three, not four but 5 kings. Epic!
Now that's a true beast! A gold plated 5 drachmai from 1833. That's 22.385 g of 0.9 silver.... Amazing how this beast used to be a standard circulation coin once upon a time 🥰
2 reales from 1723. This is now the oldest silver coin in my collection! 6 g of 0.833 silver.
1 Drachme 1911, 5 g of 0.835 silver.
And finally...
10 Drachmai from 1930, featuring the sexy goddess dimitra. 7g of 0.500 silver!
As you can see they are not in the finest condition but I only paid a 10% premium for the silver they have. Especially the 5 drachmai is super rare and without the hole prices get really crazy for it!
The way I look it is that I get both some silver for a relatively good price and a piece of history.
Stack on!
