<p>[QUOTE="ab initio, post: 4551609, member: 80317"]I have been collecting those in silver and gold for the last 50 years. The reverse had to be perfectly centered, the obverse did not matter. The idea was to make a display of jewellery with them as the subject. At some point, fairly recently, I changed my mind, feeling it would be both a shame and a sacrilege. So the silver is up for sale -watch out for it in "Solidus". There are no reserves set by myself. The auctioneers will make sure everything sells. Provenances are from US and European auctions from the 1970's to the 2010's with very few exceptions where the coins were bought from the stock of a dealer at a show. I hope they will all go to good homes and not to ...jewellery! The few gold pieces I will keep for the time being. They are lovely to look at and handle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
