    Nice, I like the bust on this one too. Better than his silver counterpart.

    There is no over date listed in my World coin catalog. Is that 1 of the factors that made you want to buy this coin ? The grade is amazing.

    I like the style/ plus the eye appeal. Also, I ended up loosing others I had hoped to get. Prices are insane.

    I watched a lot of items and frankly am of the opin that there is a bubble forming in collectables much like early 2008.

    I wish you were right, but my gut feeling is that this will keep going on and on like the "Eveready Bunny" With the "internet" and general increase in worldwide collectors/ the limited finite supply, can never feed the appetite for classic coinage. This will be even more evident for high grade material. Imagine what you could have picked up at the 54 Farouk Sale with 10K in your pocket/ today if lucky you can get 2 nice coins.

    Beautiful coin, I am after one from the Seville mint rather than Madrid!
