<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 4680273, member: 24091&quot;]Well thank you, much appreciated.&nbsp; The pair of Fuad issues were bought around 1999 from Bob Steinberg, both coins same transaction, he had them on his list for about 6 months and swung me a tremendous deal on them.&nbsp; The Farouk issue is a recent addition from James Ricks (Atlas Numismatics) - the Cameo designation really sets it apart from its peers.&nbsp; The Nasser coin from Richard Ponterio in a private treaty transaction about 3 years ago, got a pretty good deal on that one too.&nbsp; I need the 1929 Fuad 500 Piastres, along with the 20 and 50 Piastres with that same Fuad left portrait, and the Aswan Dam gold coins, at which point the collection is complete as far as I see it.&nbsp; I see the Aswan Dam coins offered fairly frequently, but always at prices above what I think they are worth.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have any interest in the later issues after 1970, the artwork is as banal as US mint ATB quarter dollars on most of them.&nbsp; There are the later 50 and 100 Pound gold coins from the mid-1980s with better designs, originally sold in cards, but again they tend to trade for hefty premiums above what I think is fair market value, plus there are so many different designs that completion would be near impossible.&nbsp; Here&#039;s another Farouk superb gem, tied for finest, pop 3/0 finer.[ATTACH=full]1152359[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1152360[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
