    Here is my last coin purchase for 2007 [​IMG]

    I survived the year..... but barely $$ .

    I received it in the mail today:)

    Netherlands 1807 2 Ducat
    NGC MS-62
    KM#27 / Fr. 324 / Delmonte 1175
    Mintage 156,000
    This coin is listed by Delmonte as a R-2 on its rarity scale ( R>R4 ) which is "Very Rare" and thus you do not see these often in the wild and I consider it one of my best finds.;)
    As the description denomination implies, this coin is exactly double the weight of the classic ducat and identical in its design.

    Come on back :hug:!!! Between me and you working in tandem, just just maybe we could complete a collection of the full Netherland ducat series by year;)

    People thought I was crazy the first time I tried that. I hate to imagine what would happen if I did it again :rolling:

    That's neat! Thanks for showing. Speaking of which, that's it's 200th anniversary so I guess it must be very happy to be with you! :)

    Wow that is a nice coin. What is the metal content? It has a nice color.
