[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3994414, member: 19165"]I've been chasing this particular coin for many years. I've been the underbidder a couple of times, and I've seen it on Ebay at least once. When I arrived at FUN, I saw this in a dealer's case and I instantly recognized it. The dealer wanted strong money for it, but he was right when he said it is the nicest example you'll ever find. I put it back in the case and told him I'd think about it. He wanted strong money. I came back and asked if he could go any lower on it. He couldn't. I walked around a bit more. Finally, I remembered a piece of advice I'd heard many years ago. It was this same dealer who gave me that advice, actually: If you can't get a coin out of your head, and it's a really special coin, just buy it. To he** with the price. And so I bought it. 1810 Switzerland (Bern) 5 Batzen, NGC MS-66 DPL with Gold WINGS sticker: [ATTACH=full]1051672[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1051670[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
