Just got these from customer and thought they were cool, especially at 65% of spot. I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year. Here is a picture.  |

I have heard of silver plated copper productions of flag products such as these, as well as solid sterling silver and pure silver. Hasten slowly.

Like $20 worth of silver really no big deal either way.

The designs of the flags can be used to find the approximate date of the series. For example, the Mozambique flag (sixth row, second from right) was the one not adopted until 1975, but the Iranian flag (second row, second from right, upside-down) is the old lion-and-sun flag of the Shah, pre-1979. So they must have been produced between 1975 and 1979 - though I suppose one cannot discount the possibility that the manufacturer was using an old textbook from this period.

Sel, you kidding us? Sap is...he's like everything.
Vexillologist? Check.
Numismatist? Check.
You-name-it-ist? Check.
As a matter of fact, I just saw him weighing in on obscure samuri pieces from Japan. I mean, come on! He's endless! ;)
Good job Sap!

Stamped .925 Yep, if I was making a fake I would be sure to include that stamp. Not saying that these are fakes by any means, just that a stamp proves nothing. |

Either way they cost me like $20-$30 in scrap silver so I'm not gonna sweat it.
