<p>[QUOTE="Iceman57, post: 992575, member: 16712"]Well I got the coins from Denmark and boy they dont look so good. they must of used some kind of scanner that left out a lot of the surface detail. The 2 kronur looked horrible and I sent the whole lot back to them for a refund. But the good news out of all this was a few days after the auction ended I got a email from the coin clulb in Reykjavik, Iceland with a list of coins in the monthly auction and low and behold for the first time in seven years since I have been getting these emails someone put up a 1925 2 Kronur in 01 condition or for those that don't know what this means , A coin that in anywhere from Ex-Fine to AU. Well a very good friend of mine that lives there checked it out and told me that the coin has nearly full mint luster and the only one he has ever seen that was better then this one is in the national musuem, well I asked him to bid on the coin for me and to get it at any price. He Told me to leave it to him, Well one the day of the auction my friend instant messaged me with how he did and sent me pictures of the coin and told me what he got it for ,,,,Well I was shocked when he told me that the bid never went past 68 dollars which was the opening bid and asked hows that??? At the start of the auction he circulated that he was bidding on behalf of a buyer in the U.S. and told people that he was to bid up to 450.00 bucks well no one bidded and now I'm One Happy Camper because of a very good friend.</p><p> </p><p>Here is a picture of the coin</p><p> </p><p>[ATTACH]95673.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
