<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 818945, member: 15199&quot;]I wasn&#039;t going to spend much at this weeks club auction,but these caught my eye <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I wanted a 8Reales, so when this 1804 came up for a reasonable price I purchased it&nbsp; over a bidder. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1804-8R.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The a 1 Scudo Italia Venecia ( Venice)&nbsp; 1627 came up and no one bid on it, but my son had a special occasion coming up and he has admired older coins so I bought this to save for him.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/Venice1627.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That was going to be the end of it, but then this 1881 $5 gold piece came up with a reserve close to the gold value and I estimated it to be a high EF or AU with the luster. I passed on it, along with the other members, but started to regret it. At the end, unpurchased coins had a last chance and before I knew it, my hand had raised. But I certainly don&#039;t regret it now, as very nice in hand, and looks mid-AU.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1881-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So my main monthly buy. Just thought you might like to see them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
