<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 3664228, member: 24091&quot;]One of only 36 coins seen at the grading services for the 2 year type, split exactly even between the two years with 18 coins graded each for 1827 and 1828.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were a total of 4 of these offered in Chicago a few weeks ago at the ANA convention.&nbsp; An 1827 in NGC MS67 reserved at $50,000 which went unsold at Stack&#039;s.&nbsp; An 1828 in PCGS MS63+ that also went unsold with an $8,000 reserve at Heritage.&nbsp; And a pair of 1828 coins, both MS62 which sold at Stack&#039;s, one each from NGC and PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine was actually a post-auction buy, and given that it has a nicer strike than the NGC coin that sold at auction the day before, it was an irresistible acquisition.&nbsp; I had other Egyptian coins I sold at the Stack&#039;s auction that did exceptionally well, making the decision that much easier.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heavy coin, over an ounce Troy of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>We were in Tuscany on vacation in June.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t find any kind of listing for a coin store in Florence or anywhere else in Tuscany for that matter.&nbsp; Had to wait until the end of the summer here in the states to add what has to be the coolest souvenir I&#039;ve ever owned.&nbsp; And to think it wasn&#039;t even my first choice.&nbsp; Had originally ordered a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo shoes online only to discover they looked like something only an undertaker would wear before returning them.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]985362[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]985363[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]985364[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]985365[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
