<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Siggi Palma, post: 749436, member: 18255&quot;]Good evening everybody, </p><p><br /></p><p>Last week a very special rare coin came into my possession,&nbsp; I´m going to tell you a little about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is special because there are only three known pieces of this coin known.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is the 1961 gold coin made to commemorate the 150 years of the birth of Jon Sigurdsson.&nbsp; The coin was designed by Jordundur Palsson. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin weighs 8.96 grams of 22 K gold and minted in the Royal mint in London.&nbsp; The coin was minted in 10.000 pieces.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now the reason why my coin is rare is because it´s a proof version.&nbsp; The coin was never minted as proofs.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are three of this known to exist as I said. One in the royal mint one in the Icelandic numismatic museum and third one with me.&nbsp; My coin as considered the second best copy around.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am still waiting for some gear to be able to photograph it correctly so these pictures must do.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>siggi </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee209/siggipalma/1-14.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee209/siggipalma/2-13.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
