sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 9:48 pm I have a copy of Munzenkatalog.ch - Cataloguedes Monnaies publ. Zurich, 2008. Values (in Swiss Francs), for the 1902B 5 rappen: Fine 12, VF 20, EF 60, Unc. 140, Mint State (MS65?) 280. One million reported struck, but I suspect that this coin is scarcer than the mintage figure suggests. I agree with Amida17, on the way the Swiss grade their own coins. Not quite Fine, if I was a Swiss gentleman grading this coin. I am not Swiss. I think this coin is in Fine condition. Report this Post to the Staff
