Will that ever happen? Numista lists a total of 896,415 varieties for 484,576 types and I have a couple to add, so probably not for a while.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Hilarious entry, mrwiskers!!!  I have some to photograph and send to you for "slabbing" by BUGS. And thank you - my FAO collection is filling out nicely. Unfortunately it will never be complete, as there are quite a few large gold ones that I'll never acquire. For instance, I can't see dropping $10K on a Lesotho 20 Maloti 1969 - 79.881 g of .917 Au. https://en.numista.com/87251Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Germany to Italy... Don't you have to either go through Austria or Switzerland to get to Italy? And a nice example of an over struck coin at that.  |

Austria, to Italy ... ...Due to Italy's shortage of nickel & copper during WWI, they over-struck this coin on an earlier, de-monetized 1894 20 centesimi ... some of these later coins show ghost images of details of the 1894 20C ... this one clearly shows the original "2" ... ...this is another 25 cent "bargain bin" find, & is currently soaking in acetone to remove the rest of the remaining gunk ... ...I posted an original coin for comparison ...
