Wow, Panzerman, another great gold coin. I've been trying to collect a few gold French coins, but I have nothing like this ... and at that grade.
Thank you Yes, the Caranett Collection had some really choice MS coins. I was glad the "Tyrant Collection" guy was not bidding against me.....
Very nice example indeed - congratulations, the detail in his hair is fantastic! I was also after a gold French coin in that sale, albeit one with a later date, but it went too high for me as I was trying to save funds for some outstanding and very rare minors in upcoming sales. I seem to have the need to try and complete impossible date runs
Well done. Fortunately for you he is the Tyrant of the Thames and not Tyrant of the Seine Never a good person to be bidding against - apparently going multiples of book grants you the role of underbidder, as I found to my cost (or not in the literal sense).
His "Tyrants of the Seine" collection is still very impressive! Hopefully, he will not get into Tyrants of the Rhine/ Danube....I am big into the Holy Roman Empire/ German States.....
