Happily, I remain clueless. Sorry if you're less than happy about something, though. Really. Did not want to come off as a scold- it's just...
I bought my first gold coin for myself, when I was 15. It was ... you guessed it, an Austrian ducat restrike. :)
Wow, it's good you got a knowledgeable Saturn! I would not have had a clue how to select such specialized, well-targeted gifts for you, since I...
What in the world is that all about? I'm sure I don't know, but the tone doesn't seem to be "in the spirit of giving"? I don't know what...
I started again, then sold again. I did an even bigger purge in 2013, selling almost 95% of my collection, including all the "holey" gold coins...

Congratulations, that is a truly beautiful coin. I've had some in the AU to lower MS range, but not of that quality.
Well, it took you long enough to enter, didn't it? I figgered a fella with a username like "CircCam" would have been entered long before now! ;)...
Sorry, these photos look OK when seen tiny on my phone, but horrible when seen full size on a monitor. Anyway, you've got a temple (?) here, with...

Brings new meaning to the numismatic phrase "double eagle".
It's happened to us all. You should have seen me squinting at the mysterious copper coin I dug on an early colonial site while metal detecting,...
