Oh and if anyone is trying to get all the modern icelandic notes, there are a bunch of ATMs around town. Some of them let you choose which denominations you can get, so go for one of them that will let you select one of each.

Can confirm there is now a few dealers at the flea market in town with very similiar buckets, each have the same sized cups, with the same price. There is also a dealer with a bunch of world currency who had some icelandic mint/proof sets. More pricy than online comps, but everything in iceland is more expensive.

Not sure how credible this site is, but they seem to claim most of these mints are just temporary pop-up mints that simply coined while the king was in town, and then closed shop until the king arrived again. That would explain why there isn't too much existing structure to visit. that and being 800 years ago :P

@pert. Yes that is the wiki I have been referencing as a starting point.

The details that you mention on those three mints is exactly the type of information I am attempting to hunt down. I really appreciate it.


@spence. Thanks for the link and suggestion on where to look in the forum. I appreciate the nudge!

I'm spending a week in Scotland later this year and I really enjoy connecting physical locations + numismatic history + something to collect.

I've done a few hours of research into the smaller towns, but have not come up with anything still standing.

What I'm looking for help from the group is; does anyone know if there are any existing structures/locations connected to the minting of coins in Scotland? The wiki page makes it seem like everything was destroyed and disposed of, but I just wanted to do due diligence before missing something I could visit while I'm in the area.

Thanks

I cannot disagree with the 5 coins selected as "best of the mint" but we have had gold examples of 4/5ths of those coins in the past 15 years.

Would have liked to see other designs get their modern remake.

Nothing special with Nickels in 2019. Just circulation strike and proof strike.

PCGS is right about the satin finish and that was for all coins in the mint issued uncirculated sets.

Sorta recent, The 1994 Thomas Jefferson Commem set and the 1997Botanical Garden Commem set also have nickels with special finishes.
