Royal Mint vs Monnaie de Paris [opgelost]

4 berichten
Which is better in your opinion, the royal Canadian or US mint?
Judge on these terms...
1. Circulation coins?
2. Coins you class as antique/old e.g. guineas, 100 francs etc.?
3. Bullion-junk silver?
4. Errors?
5. Which do you have the most coins from?
6. Which do you prefer?
7. Commemoratives?

Write the number and the mint beside it eg. 1. MP
2. RM
3. MP

The winner will go up against the winner of US Mint vs RCM

I'll probably be bias to the Royal Mint but...
1. RM - I do not like euros
2. RM
3. RM - Definitely!
4. RM
5. RM
6. RM
7. MP

RM: 6 MP:1

@Numismatist uk Don't worry about it, I'll make up for your bias by being biased the other way :O

Anyways;

1. MP (The Monnaie de Paris does a great job with circulating varieties when half of the surfaces have already been decided; finding a commemorative 2€ in your change can makes my day!)
2. MP (Very hard choice for me, but I sided with the MP because coins that all feature a monarch on one side just get boring faster. Also, for the reverse, a massive percentage of old British coins' motifs seem to be either Britannia or cruciform shields; contrast that to the large variety of Mariannes since 1870)
3. RM (There isn't really a high-profile French bullion coin; the Philharmonic serves that purpose for the Eurozone)
4. MP (Both are more or less the same for me, but the MP's interesting mules win the day)
5. RM (Mainly supplemented by circulating coins I plucked out/post 1971 coins found in boxes)
6. MP (Here's where the bias kicks in; world class designs and top standard quality IMO, especially since 1870)
7. MP (I find it tragic that there are no classic commemoratives produced by the MP, but the post-1983 100 Francs series is awesome!)

RM: 2; MP: 5

HaHa,
I was driven off the euros due to the plain boring rep. of Ireland design.
I too love the 100 francs but French 'bullion' is either ​tres expensive or is low purity eg. Saint coins .333 for £10 (11.30 euro-ish)
I love the older coins from both but don't know much about euro mules.
The royal mint may have a slight milk spot issue but other than that it's fine.
