Link is wrong.

 

I reposted another link that should work .

 

Is that David Vagi narrating?

 

Cool video, thanks for sharing it.

 

It is - his voice fits narrating well! Maybe if the whole coin thing doesn't work out for him, he should go into voice-over work

 

Is it from the same dies as the silver Eid Mar?

And, if the Tyrant Collection doesn't buy this, it will be a huge missed opportunity. That's where this belongs.

 

Are all those coins owned by just one person?! What a spectacular collection!

 

I think all of us here,would have the same collection(Tyrant) with the same bank account

 

Guess again.

 

I agree. The Tyrant collection undeniably has many great coins (especially his US eagles - an incredible set) but he owns a few coins I've sold which weren't nice enough for me anymore and he's been my underbidder on a few of my favorite pieces (Athens gold and my Kyrene facing quadriga stater, to name a few). He could have easily outbid me so it is intriguing that he didn't push further but I suppose everyone has their preferences.

There are many coins of his that I'd like but I don't think any of us would have built his same collection, and that's a good thing!

 

I agree, we are all different in our goals. I was just generalizing. If I had a Billion to spare, my aim would be a complete as possible coll. of MS Aurei/ Denari/ also the wonderfull coinage of the Holy Roman Empire/ Swiss Cantons/ Transylvania/ Medieval gold from Lowlands/ France...money would run out quickly. Esp. the way prices are trending
