<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jordan Lott, post: 2502910, member: 81422&quot;]Hi Everyone</p><p>Wow some of you get really personal and perhaps this is not a good place to talk about coins.</p><p>Just because I have an opinion, shared by many well advised or self taught collectors that one can collect coins and <i>very often make substantial profits, </i>shouldn&#039;t give rise to such personal attacks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have become a passionate collector of major rarities. Ed VII sovereign. </p><p>George III 5 guinea pattern and more. I choose rarities because they are KEY coins. I believe I will make a substantial profit when <i>I choose to sell</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are completely correct in your assumptions that these are not liquid but I wouldn&#039;t think of selling them until they are a part of something special that another collector wants and so will pay any price to get his hands on them.</p><p>There will always be the Super Rich, just be cause they loose a few billion in a crisis doesn&#039;t mean they still dont have many billions more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that the British series is hugely undervalued. If the Ed VII sov was an American coin with such history then it would be worth millions. Look at the recent $ 10,000,000 sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Regal issue </p><p>When I bought the Edward VII sovereign there was an investment in a UK version of the enormous TV show hit in America called Pawn Stars and I wanted to promote the UK version of the show. I was going to go on the show promoting coins each week.</p><p>However after two years on the History channel it didn&#039;t achieve what I had hoped and Regal and associated companies were dropped.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still wanting to promote coin collecting to the masses I chose to fund a TV series and secured Sir Tony Robinson as the presenter.</p><p>This will be in the format of &quot; History of the world through Coins&quot; and as producer Ive invested over £150,000 so far.</p><p>You can watch a short pilot here [MEDIA=vimeo]144262931[/MEDIA]</p><p>You&#039;ll see Tony, Nick Knowles and myself talking about coins.</p><p>I believe that something has to be done to get the young involved in coin collecting otherwise the old men will pass and where will we get the new collectors. There are very few kids at UK shows but in America there are always areas dedicated to the young with competitions to get them in love with coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope to achieve the same with this six part TV series. Lets face it, Coins really are a major part of history and from the 5 century BC to today coins have told history. We will feature coins from around the world and tell the story of who was in power, what was happening, why etc. It will be informative fun and everyone from the British Museum to the Royal Mint are very excited.</p><p><br /></p><p>LouisXVI losing his head after being recognized from his head on a coin</p><p>Anthony&amp;Cleopatra with both heads on a coin </p><p>The famous 5 Guinea 1703 Vigo </p><p>Australian Holey dollar</p><p>Athelstan and his mints</p><p>Hiper-inflation and the fall of the Roman empire</p><p>and many more</p><p><br /></p><p>So I hope that you will all get on board with supporting me in my goal of raising the awareness of the the pleasures of coin collecting and IF anyone, including myself, make an investment work, well I believe it to everyone&#039;s benefit in the Numismatic world.</p><p>Thanks Jordan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
