Not my cup of tea but most CERTAINLY a lovely coin!

Congratulations!!!!

clembo

 

the price was not too bad either compared to american coins

 

And there are no American coins 625+ years old !!!!!!!!!!

 

sure they are maybe not made of gold but ....


on a serious note i agree i have my eye on of these too maybe ill get it one of these days

 

Spock,
I now will begin saving/waiting for the right Belgium/Flanders Louis De Male "Mouton d'or" and "Flandres d'or" .. and utimately a "Heaume d'or".

I also have a very "special" low country gold coin ( Mid 1700's) coming which I should have in hand sometime next week. It is also a beauty and very uncommon coin particuliary in MS grade.

I'm probably tapped out of $$ resources until 2009 ... I do need to add an Indian mohur to my collection though !!!

 

For me to acquire all those ... I probably need to get rid of my wife :smile
but seriously that's a goal.

In a couple of years I will ultimately consolidate my world gold collection to a maximum 50 coin collection (currently about 65). Then I can concentrate strictly on all those "special" coins that you and I have discussed over the years.

 

watch out for spock we dont want a bidding war my resources are limited i cant spend millions like you

 

I will buy just one of those belgian coins dont want to get too far away from my speciality. get the mohurs ASAP prices are rising by the day

 

sweet coin, congrats.

 

Heck I thought you were retired with millions

as far as a bidding war encil:

 

That realy is a lovely coin, congrats on getting it :bow:

 

you got me mixed up with the GM

 

Great buy Silvereagle.....Beautiful coin:thumb:

 

:hail::hail::hail:It has my praise :thumb: one very delightfull coin with very good eye apeal congratulations Harry :stooge:

 

A couple of my own photos

 

Fantastic coin, and I like the idea of the '50 maximum' collection. Really keeps it focused on the best of the best.
