At the Worlds Fair of Money last year in Baltimore, I held and studied numerous rarities during the auction viewing. One was a Proof $5 Indian Head Gold coin which sold later that day for over $250,000.00 that coin inspired me to buy a coupleIndian Head gold coins over the last year. |
Yes it was an awesome coin I was at this show myself!Baltimore is a great coin town...as the king of coins hailed from here & his collection housed at the Smithsonian!....and lots of other great coin finds in Baltimore too! I would say Baltimore is the East Coast Capital of Coins! Of course I say that.... Baltimore is my home town! " HON"... Oh did I forget to say home of the O's & Our National Anthem......Ravens......Crab Cakes & Beer... yum! And while I'm boasting I'm proud to say you can find us here on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay!
