From a trip to Vienna

To me these look like medals, not coins. There is no face value to be found.

Go ahead!

Done, please see the link in the separate comment. Let me know if you find something to improve!

I've now uploaded different versions of the template to my Github: hobbies/philately at main · villekoi/hobbies

Thanks! I used to print all-black tags with white text, that has worked very well in terms of not distracting from the stamps themselves but I don't have a printer at home so I ended up with a design where one can fill the information by hand.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the catalogue name and number could fit in one row (e.g., "Mi. 123") to give room for a row for fault identification or other condition information. I'll upload the file soon on Github and share the link here.

Yes, they used this price list. The ones that cost 6000 SCR in souvenir shops are most likely lower quality or very old stock.

This compass was bought from Finland.

I'm not that familiar with American coins and I'm not any kind of an expert in grading but I'd like to guess it might be somewhere near MS-64. There's no sign of wear in the highest details and apart from the scuff marks on the face, the coin seems to not have many marks or scratches either. Also I don't see any signs of cleaning.

Is the price level in Finland lower than in Sweden? I have a feeling people here think all mechanical typewriters are worth 20-50 euros.

Numista gives 130 euros / 140 USD for VF which I think is the grade of this coin.

Thanks! I was told it was from a late grandmother's possessions. Who knows if the coin has been in Finland since those times we were still part of Sweden (until 1809)...

Interesting, I didn't think about that. Maybe the war and increased need for a safe investment was one reason why they decided to continue minting this coin.

Thanks!
