mrbrklyn New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 06:38 am That is in Italy. How about the US? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 09:26 am These coins are produced by the Helvetic Mint, a private mint in Switzerland. You could try contacting them on the e-mail addresses on their website and ask if they have a US distributor. Note that this mint is not the official Swiss government mint, which is known as Swissmint. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

For what it's worth, I live in California and have bought a couple of coins from that seller before which arrived promptly. Otherwise, I think the only other option is to contact the Helvetic Mint, as Sap says. Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 07/22/2012 12:30 pm The "Helvetic Mint" opened up last year, and as Sap wrote, it does not have anything to do with making Swiss coins. This company http://firstcoincompany.com/carniva...ted-coin-set seems to be in the US and apparently sells those Fiji pieces ... Christian Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 07/23/2012 10:46 am firstcoincompany.com lists its address in california but is registered to an individual living in minsk, belarus they dont sell single coins, they only deal in "high volume" wholesale, must be paid 100% up front. not claiming they aren't legit, just sayin'...

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 07/23/2012 5:01 pm Oops, had not noticed that is a wholesale place. My bad; it would indeed make sense then to contact that mint in Switzerland and ask them about US distributors ... Christian Report this Post to the Staff
