Now for the reverse/ what do you really love collecting!

Good stuff!
I ended up with none. I will try to save up money all thru end of November/ while busy with work.
Then when I am off during Winter I will try to get some more $$$ coins like 1488 Brabant AV Demi Noble in MS.

Since the bidding on the Mughal Gold Square Mohur of Akbar was crazy, I pulled out of the bidding and let some American win it for 3800 EUR (actually 4560 EUR when you add in the "buyer's premium", and he may end up having to pay other fees besides shipping), so finding and buying that is my next goal, also I plan to try to find and buy an Assamese Gold Octagonal Mohur.

 

Is this what you want?: https://z-coins.bidinside.com/en/sitem/142/bulgaria-ferdinand-i-1887-1918-20-leva-/

 

I have put in a bid for this South Korean gold coin: https://rauch-auctions.bidinside.com/en/lot/59508/korea-s-d-2500-won-95g-1970-knigin-/

 

Nein! This is one from Boris III again some moron punched a hole thru it.
No class in Bulgaria.

 

That South Korea coin is from 1970 Proof Set. Nice coin!

I have the 1969 Proof Sets from

Uganda (8 oz gold)
Biafra (5oz gold)
Chad (6 oz gold)

 

After you started mentioning these coins, I started noticing them and as you wrote before, more or less all of them either still have the holes or they have been "fixed", was he a hated figure in Bulgaria? I have never seen such a thing with other coins.

 

Yes, hopefully there won't be interest for it from anyone else but me, that coin would cost me over 2000 EUR if I ordered it from the USA, so if I manage to get it for under 1000 EUR at the auction, it would be one of my biggest bargain buys.

 

No/ they did same with Ferdinand I AV 4 Dukaten 1915/16/17
Bulgaria had a German King from Independence from Ottomans too end of WW2.

 

That is really odd.

In any case, have you tried contacting a numismatic company in Bulgaria to see if they can procure the coins you want for you? While searching for another coin I came across this website, maybe they can help you: https://www.florinus.bg/en/index?&currency=BGN

 

I wonder how much this coin costs?: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces47989.html

 

I need to buy just one more coin to get to 50 in my collection.

 

good for you/ the 25000 Won 1970 Proof (25K) or more

 

This is the 50th coin in my collection:

 

The Spink auction should finally start in about an hour.

 

The auction has started, but without any lots!

 

The lots are finally up!

 

I have decided to put in a bid for this lot: https://live.spink.com/lots/view/4-...er-iii-the-great-336-323-bc-av-stater-sardis-

 

And also these two: https://live.spink.com/lots/view/4-...c-wreathed-head-of-tanit-left-wearing-triple-

https://live.spink.com/lots/view/4-...-second-satrapy-312-281-bc-ar-tetradrachm-str

 

Then there is no point in me searching for it anymore, because I have zero intention of ever paying a 5 figure sum for a coin, and if I did ever decide to pay such a sum for a coin, it would have to be a really special coin, and the South Korean one of King Sejong isn't in that category.
