Very nicely! You need to share.

 

Gorgeous!

 

I hate you...

 

Those gold coins were minted thousands of years ago and they still look pristine. Gold coins keep their beauty for a very long time.

 

Yes indeed, gold is amazing, even coins salvaged from ship wrecks are not effected by the salt water. But, its flaw is in its softness, thus coins wore out faster then silver or base metal ones. Its truly mindboggling why so many are in pristine condition today.

 

Sure seems a lot to keep track of. I have a nice safe if you run into storage issues... Just sayin'.....

 

Are you saying I can borrow one of your safes? If so, please don’t feel pressed to empty it first.

 

That was exactly my inner response, the first time I saw him post a FDC (Gem BU) gold aureus.

I want to be adopted!

 

Me too! By the "Tyrant" Dan O'Dowd!

 

Man, he has a magnificent collection. You can see it on his site, www.tyrantcollection
I wonder if he was the man who won that AV 100 Dukaten 1629 Bohemia "Traveller Coll." NAC auction?

 

Magnificent @panzerman, but I wouldn't expect anything else from you. Thanks for posting.

 

Yes, He is in a league of his own......
