<p>[QUOTE="Andy, post: 75224, member: 645"]Silvereagle, last night I was looking thru my gold coin catalogs for a bit and was admiring the 1961 Iceland 500 Kronur more then any other coin. It was also the first time that I had seen it. For Iceland was never on my buy list but the coin really struck me. I was thinking that it was to modern for me and I only buy modern for bullion value but what a strong and culturally protrayed coin it is. I really liked it and thought what a great coin to have. Funny that you posted it today.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also like the braiding in the young Victoria's hair. I once thought about the British gold SOVEREIGNS as a collection series to make for if I remember correctly they are the same size as the french 20 gold francs and there is of course the joint history linkage. However,maybe I should compare the prices to the Aussie gold coins and/or the British gold that was minted in Sidney since the detail seems to be as good before going in that direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>and yes I have heard that Gary knows a thing or two about coins. I never forgot how impressed the National Dealer was with GDJMSP's listed purchases. He had given me some leads in the past as well. Good guy I guess but the human bones in the hat is what got me worried about that mountain man. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I heard from no one that they may be the fingers of other collectors who got their hands on coins he wanted! </p><p><br /></p><p>Seriously, I hope you continue to share your collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
