Not half!

I checked in the member's forum but I'll be keeping an eye on this one too. Back from the "excited States of America". (You can tell I don't think too much of the US emmigration service!).

Don't you think that coins like 'sede vacante' are really medals? I don't want to start a war, but, although I collect 'commemoratives' on the side, I've always thought of them as such. But then, I prefer circulated coins to the 'pretty' versions!!!

We think much the same.

well

Sede vacante is a medal as we can call medals every coin that is struck to commemorate somethinh or someone but that's not intended for circulation...

I prefer too coins that are struck for circulation and that you can find them in circulation.....

e.g. I'm interested in euro o pound coins only for circulation and I simply ignore silver, golden, platinum... commemoratives.....

But in a strickly point of view I think that Sede vacnte can't be considered a medal (also becouse there are papal or Sede Vacante medals...); it's only a commemorative silver coin not intended for circulation...
