Message:: [QUOTE="1066merlin, post: 1144986, member: 27678"]I hope I didn't bore you with all of these photos. After nearly 6 hours of searching the world coin area, these were the best I could find. I asked one dealer if he had the 1930 Kronur set, his reply "you'll never find those they are just to rare". (he doesnt know me very well, LOL) Which brings me to the one that got away. I so wanted to find a 1930 Kronur set and I actually found 2 of them. Stacks auction had 2! I was SO excited to see them in the case. They were not in their original boxes just stacked in flips. I asked the dealer to see both sets. I stayed calm on the outside but inside I was doing back flips!!!! I went over the sets very closely. One set had spots of vertigris here and there, the other had a couple rim dings. I asked what the dealer wanted for them.......$600.00! My stomach just sank. I had been talking with Siggi and Iceman the past few weeks and they told me not more than $500. I could hear them telling me DON'T DO IT! So I let them I had to let go. Concidering they were not in perfect shape, not in their boxes I hope I did the right thing.  Thanks for looking, any and all comments welcome[/QUOTE]
