Just some activity from the past few months. New or new-ish additions to the Box of 20, though I have not yet had time to do the Herculean housekeeping necessary to fix all the formatting mess in the B20 master thread (let alone all its subthreads) since the last forum change over on CU. My suck-o-meter has been getting rather high readings over the new Collectors Universe site, and as far as Photobucket is concerned lately, it's in the red! Eventually I need to just move all the Box of 20 subthreads over here instead of using CU for that. IN the meantime, here are just some pix. Full descriptions and writeups will follow on these, and they'll get their own threads... eventually. ~RWS/"LM"
@lordmarcovan My favorite is the 1848 10 centimes. The third image of the off-center coin looks like it also has a small amount of die rotation, too. Chris
wow that 2nd and 5th coin blow me away. could you tell me the value of these 2 in a private message ?
I don't usually keep my costs a state secret. I paid $240-ish for the second (Teutonic Order) piece and $480-ish for the fifth (the Brabant gold florin). It cost me another $30-35-ish to get the Teutonic Order piece into a PCGS Secure Plus slab with TrueView imaging. That recently came back from PCGS with an XF45 grade, which was a little better than I had expected. The Brabant florin is still raw and only beginning its transatlantic journey from France, as I bought it less than 24 hours before this post.
Thanks, and sorry. Hanging out on the PCGS forums for 15 years as I have, one tends to develop a certain type of jargon. Sometimes I forget I'm in a different environment over here.
