The coin sectoras well as that of postage stamps, it is one of the most expensive to collect. This is because they are still around unique specimenswith particularity, minting errors and so on, which greatly contribute to raising its value. Just think that there are stamps that are worth million eurosin most cases, in fact, it is not beauty of a postage stamp itself to make it desirable, but the story what’s behind it; or perhaps antiquity. It is worth the same for coinswhether they are Euros, Lire, Pounds, but also those we are talking about today, the “Shields“: Coins of the reign of Carlo Emanuele II with the regency of the mother (1638/1648)
Ancient coins
The coin of the 10 shields with Carlo Emanuele IIit is one of the most expensive ever, it is a specimen dating nothing less than al 1641. This precious piece of history depicts from a part of the coin the bust of the Savoy Duke with his mother and on the other the coat of arms of his dynasty. Think that the cost which it reached in the year 2011 when it was sold at auction, it is equivalent to € 150,000! Other coins of incredible value are also there Quadruple of Vittorio Amedeo I of Savoy that of Euro worth 78 thousand; the famous “Carlino” for 5 doubles: 50 thousand Euros approx, sold in 2010.
Also very many of the coins we have in the house they have great value, but none of them come close to these prices; this because objects of this kind acquire value over the yearsthink about how famous a coin you have in your pocket right now could be in 2/300 years; when maybe even “physical” money will no longer existwho knows! The most important thing to do, if you want to take the path of a collection, whatever the type, is instead, the care of the conditions of our objects. The price and value of a worn or damaged collector’s itemin fact, it will not never equate that of one in excellent condition.
