Nice

 

Got to be in it to win it. I see your passion. Your coins are so different. I’ll never see those coins again. Thanks

 

It’s not what you paid. It’s what you get. You ever drink MOXIE? Glad to meet ya

 

Nice coins quite special. Do these invasions ever end. Grow up people

 

I no longer have any of the world coins I paid the most for; I sold them all years ago to Stack's Bowers. But this is what my records say I paid for them, mostly in 1986 when I got a little bit carried away:

$700: James I Hammered gold Unite (20 shillings), 1607/09, S.2619, VF/EF, 4/11/86
$700: Charles II gold Guinea, 1680, S.3344, Ch. VF. 5/19/86, Steinberg's
$650: Elizabeth I gold Crown (5 shillings), 1560/61, S.2522, VF-EF, 5/1/86, Malcolm Bord
$630: William & Mary silver Crown, 1691 (Tertio), S.3433, nr. VF/VF, 4/10/00
$550: George IV gold Two Pounds, 1823, S.3798, VF/EF, 6/13/86, Malcolm Bord
$500: Victoria gold Two Pounds, 1893, S.3873, 6/13/86, Malcolm Bord
$425: James I Hammered gold Half Laurel (10 shillings), 1624, S. 2461A, VF+, 9/6/86, Karl Stephens Inc.
$425: James II gold Guinea, 1685, S.3400, VF, 6/19/86, Steinberg's.

I can't imagine what it would cost me to replace all of these. I probably don't want to know!

 

You had some really nice coins back then I would bet most would cost ten fold today. English/ British really gotten hot in past 5 years.

$1450.00 for a 1909-S VDB. I hid the darn thing in bedroom, over 10 years ago. Forgot where I hid it.

 

When I can find it I do.

 

Tuff stuff. A Massachusetts drink

 

£475 4 years ago. Think I paid a bit too much. This does not count the 1 oz. bullion type coins I merely regard as gold bullion.

 

1982 Chinese Gold Panda

 

All beauties, bet they were pricey...

 

Well worth it though

 

You have seen this one before, and I think it would fit right in with your collection, John. 1923 M sovereign, I gave a bit over $500 for it less than a year ago.

 

Nice Melbourne Sovereign

I went to check mine, and found that I still need a George V M sov!!!!
I always thought I had all the George V type from all mints.
Thanks to you, I now know I do not....

 

That'll be the 4 daler Kunker auctioned on my 50th birthday, damn them.

 

I've written a 400-page book about S. Korean coins. It's coming out in August...
