I ended up winning the Ayyubid gold dinar of Saladin for 1700 GBP!

 

Good for you!

 

Yes, one more gold coin moved from the wish list to the ownership list!

 

I have also put in a bid for this Eastern Roman Empire gold solidus of Maurice Tiberius:

 

I hope that science will figure out how to stop/ reverse ageing.....I need a million years to be able to get all my wantlist complete/ I am at coin # 1243 not doing so well
and it took me 30 years

 

I think it's going to be a while before "science" can do much better than you're already doing yourself!

 

All it would take would be to manipulate our cells to never stop replicating=immortality. Even better endless regeneration/ you cut off your finger/ new one grows back. Science fiction today/ maybe not in 5 years. If we did not have bad people like Xi/ Putin/ "Little Rocketman" all the billions spent on defense could be put into medical advancements

 

I wish. It's actually pretty easy to do that; unfortunately, the result isn't "immortality", it's "cancer".

 

There is a MIT study that states its possible without risking
what you said. Still its better pouring billions into that then
nukes. Imagine also the savings in healthcare costs. Experimentation on mice showed positive results.

 

I have put in a bid for a Macedonian Gold Stater of Alexander the Great:

 

Nice/ which Mint?

 

Amphipolis: https://leunumismatik.com/en/lot/49/167

 

I have this AV Stater ND Salamis Mint
Cyprus/ Ptolemaic Rule
Nicokreon Satrap (King) of Cyprus under Ptolemy I 320-311BC

 

He has an interesting gold stater himself: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces126936.html

 

Apparantly he was the King of Salamis/ and pledged loyalty to Alexander III. When Alexander died/ the Generals divided up the former Macedonian Empire. Cyprus became a battle front line between Ptolemy (Egypt) and other Generals. Not much is known what happened to Nikokreon.

 

Yes, and in any case I saw that his gold stater was sold for 13000 USD.

 

In 2024 the coin that was $1300 in 1990/ now goes for $13K. This coin I won for 1900E/ recently three exs sold/ 3 diff.auctions from 19K euros-$26K US. My coin is from 2015 auction.

 

That is amazing appreciation in just 9 years. What do you think is driving the demand that makes a coin appreciate that much?

 

I have been outbid on the gold stater of Alexander the Great and I won't put in any more offers for it.
