Using a Scrap Gold Calculator to Give You The Value of a Gold Swiss Franc

Gold Swiss Francs are one of the many different gold European coins that you can invest in. They are a great way to get into gold as they come in denominations of around one fifth and one tenth of an ounce and are an interesting coin to have. If you decide to buy these I would recommend coins minted before 1933( for many different reasons that I wont mention now). Even though these coins are old and considered "special" do not be suckered in by unscrupulous online gold brokers - touting them as collectors coins exempt from confiscation and thus charging you a premium of over 25% over the spot price for them - 10% is a fair premium to pay.

As with British Sovereigns there is one drawback to these coins - they have an odd amount of gold in them (0.1867 tory ounces to be exact) - makes it hard to work out the current value on the spot.
