Excellent coin! Congratulations really rare coin.

 

Thank you my friend, and yes, I am very excited to own an ancient Chinese gold coin, I might be the only person in Europe who owns one.

 

I admittedly didn’t know Chinese coins dated to 400BC. Thanks for teaching me something new!

 

The Ancient Chinese State of Chu Gold Ying Yuan is still the record holder and I don't expect that record to be broken anytime soon..., but this month might become the record one for overall spending on coins...

 

Italian error!

 

Very unusual piece, neat.

 

About $119 for an Australian 1938 Crown.

Also $575 for 1883 Hawaii Dollar. Hawaii is now a US state but was an independent kingdom in 1883.

 

17K UK POUNDS (WOW that hurts living here in Canada with our crappy Loonie!)

For this
Aquitaine
AV Pavillion d'or ND
Bordeaux Mint
Edward IV aka "The Black Prince" 1362-72

 

Love the error coin

 

CANADA has to be the most cursed Country for coin collectors You guys/ gals living in UK/ EU/ USA are soooooooo lucky to have strong money!

 

We're hard at work on fixing that.

 

Good luck.

 

Way to go LM! You scoring some dandy coins. Even panzerman might get jealous.

 

I have put in a record bid, we will see soon whether I actually win it...

 

I put in a 10000 CHF bid, but I didn't win it, it hammered for 13000 CHF.

 

You would be a happy camper if you would have won it for 14K. These go for 30K now.

 

14000 CHF + 20% BP + 25% VAT = 21000 CHF = 22600 EUR + at least another 100 EUR for shipping, insurance and customs fees, so the end cost at that hammer price would have been at least 22700 EUR (which is 24000 USD).
