I had the same question so I did a little digging. Looks like the answer is a lot . You can see a few below. The price for a MS62 was $2600 and up. I'd be curious to know the specs on these--ie how much gold is in em? I know I'm never getting a MS one , but if I could get a lower grade coin like this for a more reasonable price, that would be really cool. http://www.mkjassociates.com/cgi-bin/ilgvuchp.pl?site=1&sale=37&chapter=86&page=1
Get It Out Of The Slab You could sell that for way way more than $2600 if you got it out of the slab and sold as EF+ in England...it would be about £1800-2300 ! You got a good buy !
JeromeLS, tsk, spock1k, 1) the Goldberg auction realized prices DO NOT include the 15% auction fee 2) IMO, my Noble is a much nicer looking coin than the first MS62 (lot #3636) which hammered for $2600+ 15%, with that said I also paid more for mine. 3) Weight: 120 grains = .2743 oz = 7.775 grams and 34 mm diameter
morale of the story i should be happy with the pic for unless i win the lottery its not going to happen anytime soon if ever thanks for sharing.
It's definitely a beautiful coin. Unfortunately out of my price range too . Thanks for sharing with us.
It is not only a gold coin,but a display of how intricate & difficult the engraving is to do.Hand engraving of a coin die has died out.Thomas Shingles,a former Chief Engraver of the Royal Canadian Mint & coin designer,was one of the last people who were able to engrave & cut dies entirely by hand.A modern-day engraver would not be able to do this,as the skills have not been passed down.
