If you all of a sudden had a Billion euros to spend on coins!

I hate bugs like mosquitos/ flies. But butterfies are beautifull.

I would crack open my earliest dated coins book and immediately start buying every coin in the book. I’d then go buy a coin from every city I’ve ever traveled to (preferably a medieval era coin, but as long as it’s not modern, I’d be happy). Then I’d buy an incredible example of every type of error out there.

 

One thing that I would really go for....

Try to get as many Roman Aurei in Mint State as possible/ then turn attention too Medieval hammered AV coinage in EF-MS/ Also include a few M $ coins like Bohemia 1629 100 Dukaten in MS. I would be broke in 5 years/ a B$ does not go far these days.

Well, if I had that much money to only spend on coins and nothing else. I'd travel in Italy to find all the super rare coins of Sicily . Attend all the Italian coin shows, go to many of the high end Italian Coin shops. Go to my Grandmother's 700+ year old house in Sicily and x-ray the walls and see if there's any coins hidden in the walls, like they used to do way back then.

I have that coin! Bought if from KM numismatics as "unsold" lot for $1800US in MS-63

 

What happened to them? They haven't held an auction in over a year and a half.

 

I was wondering about that to! I got four nice coins from them.
Stupid Murader Fine Arts auction keeps sending me auction updates/ and I cannot bid on his material....

 

They still have some coins for sale at eBay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_dk...g&_ssn=cj_fam&store_name=macoingallery&_oac=1

Though it appears they have only made one sale in the last 6 months...

 

Wonder why? PRICES!

 

Yes, his coins seem to cost double or more than what they should...
