Message:: [QUOTE="inhymn, post: 337711, member: 12626"]I know I paid WAY to much. What I would like to know is how much "WAY" to much. I never purchase anything without doing a ton of research. But I LOVED (LOVED LOVED) this coin. I know NOTHING about coins...so the reasons I bought it was as a piece of jewelry and the history. It is a Dutch Ducat 1776. The only thing that confused me is that they "said" it was 22k gold, but I have never heard of such. I bought it from a store in Grand Cayman that does offer a 90 day money back guarantee...so I am still within that window. The coin is in excellent condition. It is encased in 18K gold so that it can be worn on a gold chain. Loved the design....loved the history of the coin. It has very special meaning to me. I paid $1,700.00. I have seen a coin like it on Ebay for $600.00 but that was not with the 18K gold setting so that it can be worn on a necklace. I know Grand Cayman is the worse place to purchase anything (except Rolexs) because of the high cost of living there. But I just LOVED IT!!And still do. I know I will end up keeping it even though I paid WAY to much...because (in case you have not guessed) I LOVE IT! But I still want to know how much I overpaid and were they truthful about it being 22K??? Thanks !!![/QUOTE]
