    Well After a whole month has gone by since sending my 1925 2 Kronur to NGC that I got from a auction in Iceland, That my good friend bidded on for me, Some of you may already know the story behind how I got it for only $68.00. Well the coin was graded a MS-63 :D:D:D:D:D:D:D. For those that don't know how rare this coin is .....There are only 3 to 5 of these coins that are thought to be in UNC In Iceland and I now have the only one graded as such...I never would have ever dreamed I would ever find one of these in a really nice AU let alone uncirculated condition...:D:D:D:D:D

    Thank you,,,,,Mat, Krispy and Farstaff. It was certianly a once in a life time find. The only grades I have come across in the past 8 years was a very fine conditioned coin and if I did find one in or close to XF it was either badly cleaned , polished or banged up Nothing worth having graded.

    Thanks again

    Thank You dctjr80..... (Yes very outstanding indeed) A few years back before the economy became what it is now I had offered $500 dollars to anyone that could just find me one of these coin's in Unc, That was for sale.

    And Thank you ikandiggit and 10gary22 for your congradulations as well. I feel kind of bummed out since I got the results from NGC. Its like if I don't have anything more to look forward too.......I guess I'm just going to have to find something else. Well I do need a 1933 25 Aurar in a nice Mint-State Unc and thats another tuff coin to find.

    Well Thank you to all of you for your kind words and I hope you all find the coin of your dreams.
