<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1250446, member: 24091"]What a great web-site. I especially like the 2 drachma coins listed, those are some great designs, every one of them. The only downside to my visit being the 1963 Greek 30 Drachma coin I saw on the site, which reminded me of what seemed like an endless supply of those at one time. A local coin dealer had about 10 rolls of them, 20 coins per roll, all of them sparkling gem BU. He sold them to me at melt, I couldn't afford all of them at once, had to make trips over there spanning a few weeks. Was paying him about $45 a roll at the time, and I was fetching about $125 a roll on eBay. Which seemed like a real killing at the time. Today, a single one of those coins is worth about $50. And to think I had sold-off about 200 of them as quickly as I could get rid of them without saving a single example! Also sold off about 6 rolls of the 1964 issue the same way, though for whatever reason those were never considered as desirable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
