Italian proof coins from Sasselo, 1999

[Lizzy]

Anyone heard from these?
Seems they did a test in Italy, Sasselo, with 0,50 and 1 euro coins, in 1999.

I got an offer to buy these coins.

Anyone tell me if it worth buying them?
And for what price?

I have a picture of them...just not uploaded anywhere

Hi Lizzy,

Italy had no €uro-coins in 1999.

Don´t buy it.

1999?

Are you sure that the coins are from 1999? I have never heard about them. It would be fine if you could poste a picture of them.
So I could not tell you if they are worth bying or how much they are worth.

Like I said...these arent normal ones.
These were made for a test in 1999 to see how the euro would be used etc.

I got a picture of them....??

I think they are made for test purpose.

There ist a picture in the german Euro coin catalog by Gerhard Schön, page 122 (with the coat of arms of Sassello on one side).

Lizzy wait a moment. I askes Lars and Peter to show your picture. I´m sure it´s a fake. The international front page is wrong.

That is the same design, but a 2 Euro coin, in the catalog.
