They're just stunning Mark. Congratulations on holding out until you got the coins that you wanted, and many thanks to Siggi for making them available to you. Absolutely worth the wait my friend. Bruce
Thanks for all the comments everybody! They really are beautiful, even more so in hand. Best part is I had a horrible day, I come home and opened the mailer. Turned my frown upside down instantly, I really needed these today. Thanks Siggi
Condrads Mark :thumb::thumb::thumb:....I'm very happy you have found your set. They are very beauitful Medals/Coins. To us Icelandic Coin collectors they are both at least that is what I feel.
They are among the most beautiful coins of the whole world! Great collections indeed! Congratulations 1066merlin!
Thanks Assur, I have to agree with you. They are beautiful, by far the nicest coins in my collection.
Is this really appropriate ? Necessary ? IMO, not. Let's stick to the spirit and intent of the original post, offered in a pure sense as excitement about some cool coins. Let's admire the newps and avoid the politics.
Here are the pictures I took of Marks set before I sent them over to the US I still get a kick out of these coins/medals everytime I see a new set in my hands. Siggi
Those Photos are outstanding Siggi thanks for posting them. I still can't believe they are mine. How do you get the light and the reflection at the bottom. I wish I could take photos like that! Thanks!, Mark
I may send them in for grading, it is probably the safest way to store them. How do you think they will grade?
