Just in from last nites auction.... AV Dukat 1796 Kremnitz Mint Hungary HRE Franz II obv. Madonna with Jesus rev. HRE standing/ sword
I'm tellin ya folks, ya need to take up mowing the grass for your neighbors. All ya gotta do to see the truth of that is look at this guys coins edit - and for those of you kinda slow on the uptake - that's a Like from me. 2nd one I gave the same guy in the last 5 minutes
I am still "unemployed", hopefully snow will dissappear by April. Itching to get back to work, $$$$ is running on low I think you'd need many "trillions of $$$$" to get all the Dukaten types struck thru history.....definately the most beautifull coinage ever made. Sadly, I cannot afford those.
Well, when ya consider that ducats have been being struck for going on 800 years now, and by well over 300 different countries/entities - yeah, that's a whole lot of coins !
Glad you got it. I was watching that one as it's spectacular, but I didn't bid. That's a bit earlier than where I start my ducat collection at.
I tried to get a stempelglanz ex. from Fruhwald/ Rauch/ Pannonia Terra but always got outbid. This one I ended up getting for $550 + fees/ reasonable.
Yes, I recently won a FDC AV 1/12 Dukat HRE Josef I /Breslau Mint.....I ended up probably bidding way too much (2600euros) However, its the only Josef I type, I ever had seen offered. John
I totally agree, nothing nicer then admiring a perfect FDC coin. Besides, considering the rarity/ quality.....imagine if it was an American "capped bust" Quarter Eagle in MS-66. We would be talking 6 figures!
Awww geez Frank, look at it this way. As long as I'm picking on you - that means I'm leaving somebody else alone 'Sides, I still got looooong ways to go just to get even with ya for pickin on me ! Why you're right up there with Ken when it comes to that - that's hard to do ! We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming
That wasn’t too bad! I guess it amounts to a few lawns though? Glad you were able to get some nice coins despite many high bids.
Yes, it was a bargain! Most lawns/ garden contracts (April/November) average out at $1500 for season. I maintain by myself around 140 properties.....so roughly a 1/2 days pay.
Sounds like you have found a profession that is both healthy and profitable. And as long as the grass grows, you have demand. Good for you!
Actually, I like dry Summers....grass/ weeds slow to a standstill I get paid full contract We usually always get hot/ dry weather in June/July/August. I use that opportunity to do my hedge trimming. It keeps me on my toes for sure/ I log close to 300 K a week. Thus I wear Merrill running shoes for foot comfort/ and pack a few Coronas in my icebox to quench my thirst.....
