Comment from : Emmit D

Comment from : The Real Hawkeye II

There is a rush on these
Comment from : Zeproo

Beside the French and Swiss 20 Franc coins there's also the Italian 20 Lire coin As part of the latin monetary union they're exact same specs as 20 Franc, size, dimensions, everything Also worth looking for They do tend to have a slightly higher numismatic value but can still be found cheap As well as Francs the Lire also exists in 10 Lire versions Living in Europe I love vintage European coins While it is true that usually dealers buy them slightly below spot they also sells not too far above spot for their size so they still have a nice small spread and thus being a very good choice in their size rangebrAnother coin that also tends to have small spread is the Austrian 1 Ducat restrike Also worth looking for Very unique 986 alloy which have a very nice color - imho nicer than pure gold brProbably my favorite Frenc coin is the Angel coin - who doesn't fall in love with that legend Another favorite is the Danish 10 and 20 kroner from 1908-1912 Probably the most detailed gold coins ever made If you get a good clear strike it's amazing all those small details you can see with a loupe Not many coins come close to that and vertainly not any modern coins I know of They took their time to make details you need a magnifier to see!

Thanks for this informative video Just so you know, At 1:42, you say "each one contains ONE point 867" but it reads as "01867" Maybe someone else has already pointed this out as I am latecomer to this video and have not read the comments

Don't you have to pay capital gain on hold bullion Is there away to avoid it?
Comment from : j

My favourite is the French gold rooster
Comment from : Roger Belmar

Just keep in mind when you go to sell you will get less than spot Some dealers wont touch them, just like sovereigns I learned this lesson the hard way But if you never intend to sell, best deals around
Comment from : Metal Man

Mmmmm touching gold with my skin… mmmm yes touch that gold … Yessss… haha sorry 😅
Comment from : Brinstar

I'd rather buy these at 7 premium than pay a 20 premium for regular fractional gold can't buy them at my local coin shops because they want a higher premium than apmex
Comment from : TheSimba86

It is an excellent Vlog with tons of valuable advice
Comment from : Ganapati Hegde

Another pro for those coins is that 90gold 10copper actually makes them durable Accidental drop is not an issue while you can damage your 24 carat kangaroos just by touching them

Thoughts--- French Francs Marianne Rooster vs Swiss Francs Vreneli ?
Comment from : Eli

What size cap do these fit in?
Comment from : Alex

Just started stacking 20 franc and sovereign gold coins, low premium and affordable size😀
Comment from : Chris Stanford

You said the treaty was 1965 That should be 1865
Comment from : Cameron Rogers

I just received one 20 Franc gold coin yesterday I paid less than 7 premiumthat's a million times better than the current high silver premiums
Comment from : The Silver Sergeant

French and Swiss 20f coins sell for a lower premium over gold than bullion coins, which doesn't make any damned sense to me but there it is
Comment from : Anthony Fox

The History is simple It's gold

Comment from : Mike Charles

What local coin shop do you go to?
Comment from : Nestor Barrera

Cool video, thanks A similar type of coin also is the Franc Joseph coin which comes in two sizes, 349g and the 4x larger 1396g and both are 986 gold It was used as currency up to 1915 and after that Muenze Osterreich started making them as collectable/investment coins
Comment from : Marko Divljanovic

Cheapest i can find is about $20 over spot on Ebay but most are charging about $40 it seems
Comment from : Silver BeachBum

Just bought my first one of these, the one with the cockerel Awsome coins and great pieces of history too
Comment from : Cyberleader Andy

Ive picked up alot of these over the years but the 1902 Rooster I got awhile back is still my fav of the bunch because it has absolutely no wear but the toning is unbelievable It has an almost copper patina that really stands out next to newer gold coins Francs are great for so many reasons Great vid
Comment from : Mich ael

I'm French and these little 20 Francs gold coins are the most popular, easy to buy and sell gold coins of all The French 20 Francs gold coin comes in 5 different designs: Napoleon III tête nue (naked head), Napoleon III tête laurée (crowned with laurel), Genius (lucky angel), Marianne-Coq (rooster) and Ceres (Roman goddess) that you've presented
Comment from : Laurence Rivet

I got the same coin as my giveaway,, its a beauty!
Comment from : SheDigs!

Lira is pronounced Leera like steer a The a is prounounced auh Like a e I o u
Comment from : Neil Baylard

I understand the dollar amount over spot per coin, but how do you calculate what it would be at the 1 troy oz level over spot? My LCS has melt + $18 and trying to figure out if that's a good deal or not?
Comment from : Timo Ortiz

Hmmmwonder if I have any that I wasn't aware of 🤔
Comment from : Aimee Osmulski

Cool
Comment from : Arnie C

I love Roosters (20 francs) but had a hell of a time selling them I guess the takeaway is never sell your gold Especially if it's French

Comment from : Андрей Ша

Early French 20's and 40's used to be fairly common, and a really good value I have some from 1809, 1810, 1811, and 1812 Roosters were later, and very pretty, but not quite as cool as the original Napoleon Bonaparte coins
Comment from : Richard Alexander

Love the 20 francsall types Perfect size gold coins to hold in-hand Gotta get as many as you can! Thanks!
Comment from : iamgogi

I called a local We Buy Gold here place today And ask him if they had any Frank's or european gold Oh, and the guy said yep, we do I'll sell you all you want for 3 above spot That's without even walking in there talking to the guy or even try and negotiate So I think I'll probably just get away from that spot or maybe 1 over spot for your walk in there with about a grand and my Sigma tester
Comment from : Dazedandconfused stacker

Wrong!
Comment from : Rusty Smith

You hit it on the head These are my secrets (together with our 90 $5 commemorative and Dutch Ducats) They are all around same size and gold contents I easily find them at/under spot
Comment from : Ziegen Sauger

Thank you!
Comment from : Athenastarbrite

Never thought about stacking these until now great video
Comment from : rebelboy 77 Collins

I have a nice Napoleon 20 Frank from 1811 Nice tone to it
Comment from : Dan

All Great reasons to buy a 20 francs 👍🔥🐉
Comment from : Silver Ripples

@silverdragons have you (or anyone here) done business with Nation Wide Coins on their gold 1/10 oz up to 1 oz at spot new customer deal? I have not and am looking to see if someone has with their experience with them?
Comment from : JDO

The 10 francs are a nice alternative to the 1/10th ounce as well Same reasons you stated for the 20 francs
Comment from : Maple leaf metals

Great information I mainly keep too ¼ Canadian 9999 gold, but I do enjoy buying other coins that have a piece of history
Comment from : Andres_45_70

I would rather have Silver Dragons poured silver!
Comment from : proslice56

I’m thinking about getting into gold, so if I can ask, what’s the price comparison dollar for dollar of the 1/10 AGE vs the 18 oz ? ( as the better buy dollar to dollar each item) oh, and also price comparison to the 23 sovereign brI’m looking to start stacking
Comment from : Eli

Nice
Comment from : silvercoin

The Italian 20 lire is also a 01867 gold coin
Comment from : Dale Pak

20 Francs are great, and are fundamental in my stack I stack 20 Francs from all over Europe, 25 pesetas and 1 Sovereign for my fractionals under 25 oz What I like most about this coin is the price (can be bought at or below spot), and also the fact that they are not faked I've seen many many fake (real gold but not actually minted by the government) Sovereigns, 25 pesetas etc
Comment from : Michael Silverman

I’m paying off my first gold coin and you just taught me how to figure out the coins worth😩 I am paying way too high a premium! Now I know how to check for future purchases I’ve only ever purchased silver, so gold is new Thank you for the education
Comment from : henry corichi

Woooohh its to expensive France coinhope I can get even one of that coin for soviener
Comment from : nenita capistrano

I live in Switzerland Here the Helvetia 20 gold francs, or "Vreneli" as they are nicknamed with affection, are popular, as are the also plentiful French roosters Compared to newer under 1 ounce gold rounds, they are cheaper An advantage is that they are as small in diameter as common currency coins If you have to bail out with gold by plane, you can mix your gold with your small change in your wallet so that the scanner staff of the airport security will not be alarmed as easily as when you would try to slip full 1 ounce gold coins of larger diameter trough

I live in USA, I stack the British Sovereign I don't have any of the gold Francs or the Swiss counterpart
Comment from : Polar Roller

For me probably only from a major dealer I could be tricked Would rather pay 5 or 10 more and be able to sleep
Comment from : Steve Woods

Love the content This size of coin Affordability I do not know about anyone else and I consider this my weakness But I want to buy something every two weeks at least More lately I want it to be gold This fits the bill
Comment from : Steve Woods

Don’t have any of these yet, but I will be getting some francs and beans soon 🤪
Comment from : Empire Precious Metals

At about 1:45 you say "one point eight six seven " but screen said "01867 troy ounces" or "less than 1/5 of an oz" I had wondered why one commenter here said that buying 1oz gold buffalo made him sick but 5-6 gold 20 frank "over a 1oz" was preferable So you simply misspoke -- but made me feel smarter for figure out what you meant to say 😀😁 I don't think the coin says how much gold is in it (next time put coin in holder so it is still), so without that I doubt I'll ever purchase one Regular folks (not coin dealers/vendors) who don't recognize them may not believe me if I swear they are "01867 troy ounce"
Comment from : Debby S-AbqNM

Nice I have the Dupré guardian angel gold 20 franc I like the legend behind it It has brought me great luck No guillotine for me

Comment from : Rita Doyle

The Latin Monetary Union was around from 1865 to 1927 You said 1965! 😀 Also, these coins were first minted in France by Napoleon in the very early 1800s and were produced in Europe and elsewhere until at least 1949

Bon jour!!
Comment from : The Prince

I definitely want to add a gold coin to my collection this year and have been working on how to do that I'm just so nervous about being taken advantage of I don't know enough about them yet and some of the videos I've seen on counterfeits lately have made me very nervous Congrats on your beauty, good luck, happy hunting and take care
Comment from : Clayton County History Hound

I love these little 20 franc French gold coins as well Usually available at a reasonable price and help to bulk the gold stack up nicely 😎 Great that you have shined the light on these little beauties😁
Comment from : Trevor H

What are your thoughts on the Indian head gold coins? They are similar in size as far as gold content I have been looking at them as well as roosters
Comment from : Eric Parnell

SD and GS are noticeably cosmopolitan for Americans and are to be congratulated on their open-mindedness and sophistication Most Americans are consciously or unconsciously insular in their thinking:'if it ain't American it ain't no good'
Comment from : Stephanie G

Thanks Silver Dragons It’s good information for when I can start stacking gold Always doing my research 🔥🔥🔥
Comment from : Bead Demon

How many of these make an ounce
Comment from : JR13

3:21 sounds stupid Look it up and then you can say it correctly
Comment from : PW Craig

Great info, I was considering buying some but I felt I didn't know enough about them I try to stick with mainly Canadian Maples for purity purposes but I do buy some American Eagles every now and then I think I'll check some of these francs out Thank-you for the information Godbless
Comment from : Stinky Pocket Stealth

I think you´re absolutely right here, collecting the small gold coins from the first European monetary union, also called the Latin European gold union, based on the French 20Fr gold coins Many countries joined, like you said, a nice variety, and affordable Other collectibles are of course the British Sovereigns, the German Marks and being Scandinavian, we had a good Scandinavian gold union here too, with gold coins of 806 grams of pure gold, so true quarter ounces, less variation but fine for gold stacking Feels nice in your hand Most affordable are the Danish 20 kroner, and half of that size, the 10 kroner 90 pure

Bought some angles and roosters when gold was around 400$ an once

Comment from : Savage Stacker

Always worried about counterfeit gold coins so I try to stick with what I know maples and eagles I may try one day when confident on what I’m getting is truly gold thank you for the video will do my research
Comment from : Savage Stacker

I stack 20 franc pieces I recently bought a 1oz gold Buffalo and I got a sick feeling in my stomach just because of price I would much prefer 5-6 gold 20 frank pieces over a 1oz Plus I love the history
Comment from : Michael Whitt

I have a bunch of these sovereign type coins Didn’t like them at first, love them now
Comment from : Vertical Stacker

Beautiful coin my friend I've got an Austrian 20fr coin, the French rooster and Swiss Helvetica are still on my list Thanks for sharing
Comment from : Alexander R De Voogt

Cool vid man! I pretty much stick to gold from Canada, USA and Mexico myself!! Maybe in the future I will set my sights across the pond!
Comment from : Roger S

I can find 20, 40 franc and Mexican Paco's at spot all the time For the fractional size and being government backed is very attractive to me
Comment from : Sterling Cannabis

Many people are fans of Napoleon do not disrespect the emperor
Comment from : Tyler Pelletier

Roosters and sovereigns are great for stacking I love them Problem in Australia the government charges 10 GST tax on anything that’s not at least 999 pure gold and silver brBut your spot on about frugal gold stacking they are always a great option
