Just thought I share some pics of coins I have added to my collection in the past few weeks. I finally got around to taking pics 1758 Netherlands ducat - obverse reverse 1780 Netherlands ducat - obverse reverse 1992 Netherlands ducat - obverse reverse 1757/6 Netherlands silver ducaton - obverse reverse
Absolutely stunning, GD. Oddly enough, I was just checking out the pictures of your collection on another website. They are all truly beautiful, and I must congratulate you on your accomplishment. Thanks for sharing.
Gee thanks guys And I've always felt my pics didn't quite do the coins justice. Seriously - I sometimes take 50 pics of one coin trying to get it just right. You should see them in person - then you'd know what I mean Regarding that ducaton - there was an auction on ebay recently with the same coin, different date, graded MS63 by PCGS. Now in my opinion, I would grade my coin mid XF - but it is at least 3 grades above the quality of the PCGS slabbed coin. And the PCGS coin was being offered at more than 3 times what I paid for that example below. And yes I am serious
Hmmmm - well I know where you were But that's not my whole collection - not by a long shot. Just some of the nice examples
"You should see them in person - then you'd know what I mean", sounds like GD is inviting us to a coin viewing party. Now all we have to do is find someone who will spring for the plane tickets,food and lodging. I will bring a beer for all of us to share but no back-washing ok.
Well I'll tell ya what - I've got the food and drink covered. Got the lodging covered too as long as only a few show up. But it's up to you to get here
GD for my 200 posting, I want to say that you are a heck of a guy and one of these days I am going to cash in on that invite. One of these days.......
