Poll Question
Hi everyone, first time posting.

I live in Finland so gold/silver stacking is rather expensive - so premiums and EUR/oz is important.

One of the best sites to buy in the EU is CoinInvest

I've been buying Queen's Beasts 1/4 oz gold because it isn't subject to VAT (24% markup) but the premium is frankly close to that per coin - steep. But I'll finish this collection and move on to stacking cheaper premium coins. When doing a ton of research I ran into two coins that are very interesting:

Austrian 20 Corona. This is a 6.1g fine coin that sells for 234.20 EUR or 38.39 EUR per gram (a 5.5% premium compared to pandas for example which have at lest 10-15%)

The Corona is a re-strike so they are un-circulated and might make for good investment coins when graded.

The other coin I bumped into was a 20 Franc Leopold II which is 5.81g gold for 221.99 EUR or 38.21 EUR/gram which is a premium of 5%. These are original coins from the 1800-1909 period so they have been in circulation but have some history behind them and there is a CHANCE there might be a decent coin or two in the bunch.

So my question to the forum is which coin to go with? the re-strike or the 100 year old coin? They are both pretty low premium and I like both designs.

20 Franc Leopold II: https://www.coininvest.com/en/gold-...d-1865-1909/
