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...
That's a nice 1576 Holland lion daaler, very well struck with a bold date! Campen must have struck large numbers of these coins in the 1680s -...
Yes, that's Dav. 4887, another extremely rare coin. Krause does not give a value for this coin due to the high rarity. I've never seen one...
Yes, I imagine that the coin will hammer at between £1,000 and £1,200, perhaps even higher.
Yes, Friesland is a little more tougher to locate. The early dates, say from 1606 to 1617 tend to be more available than later dates. Once you...
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...

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...
Thought I'd add a Cyzicus follis. Year 16, 542 AD Officina B Sear 207 18.03 grams [ATTACH]
That's a very nice coin, minted during the early years of Holland's war against Spain, a war that would last until 1648. Lion daalders were...
That's an exquisite coin! I'd like to see an enlarged photo of it. Listen, a little perspective helps in this kind of situation. We all get...
Here's another LD that I photographed today. I spend a lot of time trying to get the best resolution, but I'm usually not satisfied with the...
Probably about as rich as these characters: [ATTACH]
A good number of my purchases have been through eBay, with dealers I know and trust. Otherwise, my acquisitions are through auction, auction...
Very nice! Me likeeee!
That's an excellent price for an excellent coin! My least costly Byzantine gold coin is this crude AV hyperpyron of Andronicus II and Michael IX,...
