Yes, Hudson's downtown store was leveled many years ago. In fact, Hudson's was taken over by the company that owns Target, but I forgot the name....
Simultaneously, actually. My first world crown purchased was at Hudson's Department Store coin counter, on the mezzanine, right next to the...
I placed my bids, have been outbid in the pre-floor auction, so that is that. Tax time this year is really limiting my ability to participate....
I really like the obverse of your coin. I don't think it is a fouree. There is horn silver on the reverse. Usually there is corrosion...
Here's one more Spanish colonial 8 escudos that I photographed today. I picked this coin up in January 1990, at the Long Beach Coin Expo. It is...
Thanks That is a very rare and the most beautifully produced of the series, I think. The dies were privately engraved (I forget the name of the...
There are some very rare to extremely rare multiple lion daalders, specifically Dav. 4848 (2 lion daalders, Gelderland); Dav. 4857 (2 lion...
Thank you. I will try to take photos of some of the others. I putter around a lot when doing this, probably part of my compulsive makeup, so the...

I was actually bidding on a Valentinian solidus in the Roma pre-floor auction. It's a nice coin but not as nice as yours. I've given up on the...
I saw that coin in the last CNG auction. It is a nice example for this type in untouched condition. The aluminum oxidizes quickly to a dull...
Those large gold 2 and 5 pound coins are impressive, especially in nice grade. My 5 pound coin came from a Davisson's auction many a moon ago....
Very nice examples! Are you collecting by mint/date or by mint only?
Nice coins, Donna. I once had a Victoria 5 pounds gold coin that I sold several years ago, along with an early guinea of George III and a noble...
That is a very nice lion daalder! The seller was correct. TRAN stands for the province of Overijssel or "across the IJessl", a tributary of the...
Here are a few more lion daalders that I photographed today. The first is a very rare Zeeland lion daalder of 1589. Later dates do exist for...
