B,
I don't have many EU countries in my personal silver world coin catalog, which currently stands at 81 distinct countries. I'd be interested in finding out the size of the coins you just posted. I really like the coin from Sweden but I don't usually collect anything much smaller than 1 oz, or with a silver content of less than .900.

Picked up an Austrian ducat (restrike) for $51 trade and $24 cash today. It doesn't seem that long ago that it was $50 cash.

Congrats Misterpostman. To nab 13 Austrlain Florins for melt is a great deal as well as the 1966 halves. I have always like collecting florins for the reason of their sterling silver content.

Thanks Rastatod. US 90% is still my favorite, but it is hard to find for less than a 10% premium. I have taken a liking to 80% Canadian and Australian sterling, not just for the lower cost, I find the coins appealing as well

Postman, The designs of the two coins are exceptional. I used to collect Canadian Fifty Cent coins accumulate a tube at a good price sell them and take the proceeds to buy US 90% junk. But not no more. The premiums on Canadian halves is quite high now I'm afraid. Now to the topic at hand: I needed to top off a tube of 90% Roosevelt's. Purchased the 13 1964 dimes, to cut down on the wear. For the price of $22 shipped. A good deal not a great deal, but it helped with the cost averaging. That's always a good thing.
