Unfortunately, you are right about the prices, which is why I don't think it is very likely that I will manage to add them to my collection.

 

I love this 1488 Brabant AV Demi Noble/ its 14.5K EUROS= 21K CANADIAN At least if you wanted it your cost would be so much better.

 

Baldwin's Islamic Coin Auction is about 3 weeks away, so the lots that will be on offer should be viewable online soon.

 

One of the goals I have set for myself in regards to gold coins is to have at least 1 gold coin from every century from the 4th century BCE to the 21st century CE, so far I have gold coins from 13 of those 25 centuries.

 

That is the only goal that I have done.
I have EL/AV from 27 centuries. I also have complete gold type coins from 14 nations.
The impossible ones even for Elon Musk/ Jeff Bezos....
German States (would take trillions to complete)
Mughal Empire (1000/ 500/200/100 Mohurs impossible)

 

I am having trouble finding suitable gold coins from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd centuries BCE and the 3rd century CE to add to my wish list.

 

There is one coin/ very affordable from 42BC. Struck by Scythian King for Brutus

I got this one FDC for 1600e.

 

Here is another cheap one from 88BC

 

They aren't cheap on eBay.

 

Do you think that this coin is genuine?: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1758419210...HT3J8S&hash=item28f0fec7f4:g:nDsAAOSwwG1kx8Yt

 

This is an interesting 3rd century BCE gold coin from the Roman Republic: https://baldwins.co/en-GB/auction#/...ion_uuid=2b0b57ae-4001-4abd-a8ca-11bc5aeb4592

Too bad it costs so much.

 

FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!
number 1 dealer is from Kazacshstan!
1/ size is 20mm. not 28mm,
wrong legend!
I have this coin already from CNG

 

I bid on a FDC ex. Artemide auction, it sold for 10K Euros.

 

This is real one...

 

I thought so too, but I still wanted to doublecheck it with the forum's main gold coin expert to be sure, besides, even if it was real, I still wouldn't buy it because it has some strange spots/stains in several places.

 

Here are fotos from my book

 

If I can find a nice one for a reasonable price, I will add a Kushan Empire gold coin from the 3rd century to my collection.
