Here is a coin win from Stack's in 2015 AV Quarter Noble ND London Mint struck circa 1422-30AD Annulet Issue Provenance ex: Seaby 1986/ Law Collection Henry VI 1422-61 House of Lancaster slabbed as PGGS MS-66
Thanks Mat I got it in 2013 (Stack's ANA Auction/ Thomas Law Collection Sale) It was the only time that I got carried away in a bidding war with a guy in auction room. I must have countered his bid 20X finally won it for 4800US. I could have kicked myself for being so stupid. Now 5 years later, I am kinda glad I have it....still paid way too much.
Amazing coin Mr. Goldfinger. lol This coin literally took my breath away. That's a lot of money. I am curious as to what you think this coin is actually worth ??? I am sure it is priceless in your mind. Bidding wars do happen. It all depends on your demand. I have gotten in a few bidding wars before, but not for your amount. I never regretted either. If it's a coin that rarely comes up on the market then our own demand sets the price. Your gold coins are legendary here at CT.
Beautiful coin @panzerman Here is my quarter noble. It has some edge damage but it was minted in Calais and that makes it a rare coin. Edward III AV Quarter Noble (c.1361-1369AD) (18.49 mm 1.65 g) Treaty-Period Calais Mint, Obv: shield within tressure, cross in circle above, French title omitted, pellet before edward, Rev. floriate cross, arms extending from central panel containing an annulet Bold, very fine detail, clipped with a little damage on one edge. (Schneider 100; Stewartby B2, p.258; N.1245; S.1513) Halls Hammered Coins October 9, 2017 Coin depicted in the Wildwinds.com database.
That is a great quarter noble @panzerman I can completely understand why coin elicited a bidding war.
Actually, I have saw a MS-64 go for over 6K. It seems that coin prices are going ballistic, just as we see in art auctions. Sadly, most of this is due to "speculators" out to make a fast money, or people wanting to put their $ into safe investments, since the plastic/ paper money today could be worthless overnight. Of course the third group are true collectors, who love the hobby for the sheer beauty of the coins they so passionate strive for.
