[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 3020211, member: 44357"]Happily they are "available", albeit at a price. I sold mine a little over a year ago after buying it a couple years before: it was a nice example, probably in the upper third condition-wise. However, it is un-pedigreed and for a type like the Eid Mar and other important coins, I'm much more comfortable when a pedigree is attached, knowing import restrictions and changing regulations these days. In the few years since, there have been several other nice-to-extremely-nice unpedigreed examples sold. Campana's recent die study showed 91 examples but my guess is there are quite a few more out there. Personally, I don't regret selling mine. I'll hopefully get a pedigreed one some time (with better metal and obverse centering), and preferably at a point when more unpedigreed coins have come to market and found their way into collections, removing underbidders for me.
