<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tibor, post: 3916578, member: 73385&quot;]I&#039;ve only seen a few pre 1500 AD dated and undated coins. They</p><p>were nice, but possibly not to your STRICT STANDARDS. Of the</p><p>1436-38 Goldguldens I&#039;ve never seen any. Super/Mega collector</p><p>Robert Levinson might better answer that question. The ones that</p><p>he has bought in TPG plastic were more than likely freed from their</p><p>&quot;tomb&quot; minutes after taking possession of them. In my collection</p><p>of early dated coins I only have a small handful that might grade</p><p>as high as Ex/Au. On many of the dates I already have, I&#039;ve tried</p><p>to upgrade them going as far as to bid 5x-8x high estimate.</p><p>About 2/3 of the time I wasn&#039;t even close. When you max bid 1500 Euros</p><p>and the coin sells for 2500+ Euros you know your bid sheet for that</p><p>coin was a beer coaster on the auction podium. The saying is &quot; Go</p><p>big or go home&quot; is very true. In many cases I never left the house.</p><p>Many who read this will think I&#039;m crazy for such high bids, but the</p><p>bottom line is, it&#039;s what you got, not what you don&#039;t have. As on</p><p>any forum, there is some fun for bragging rights and just out right</p><p>showing off which I have been accused of more than once.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
