big jar of wasps Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Hi Guys,Just a thought, but I wonder if these coins were minted from Nazi Gold?Anyone got any thoughts? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 ...........I've no idea. Perhaps someone who collects gold will be able to enlighten you! The Chard site doesn't seem to have anything on it, nor does any other gold dealer. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 I don't think it's the kind of thing the Swiss mint would advertise!It's possible, but no-one will ever know for sure as the original Nazi gold has probably been melted and remelted by now. Quote
krasnaya_vityaz Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 There was a programme on the telee about higher traces of mercury being detected in the 1935 LB and 1947 coins. However I have not seen any real determinate substantion of that. The significance of higher traces of mercury would indicate that perhaps the gold had been smelted from dental fillings. Quote
