<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 8289046, member: 104064"][USER=26302]@medoraman[/USER] that is a good suggestion for a strategy to split things up, fair to everyone. I've tried to restrict my posted images to coins and currency, to stay on topic. But there is a tremendous amount of other stuff, and yes the Buddha-related items are much more collected in Thailand than coins. People do love the commemorative coins and banknotes and they snap them up, but like the US they make bazillions of them. My father-in-law was a banker and a collector. He traded with a lot of other collectors of these religious items, and received some of them as collateral on personal loans that the bank wouldn't handle. He probably knew what all of these are and how much they are worth, but unfortunately he died suddenly from a heart attack over 20 years ago and I don't think any of it was ever documented. I recall that mother-in-law sold just one of these statues for $2500. Itemizing all of this with values is going to be a big project. I know there are some other coins in these display cases but it will have to wait until my next trip over. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a sample:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1464948[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1464949[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
