<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2432617, member: 1892"]Your most important decision does not involve how much you might be willing to pay for the coin. It involves whether to accept the burden of difficulty selling it years from now when you or your heirs need to do so. These are a popular issue, but the collector demand for them is balanced by availability. The coin here has been used as jewelry not once but <b>twice</b>, already having been removed from one mount. It therefore lacks even the additional interest of a contemporary jewelry piece; the current mount is probably not more than 100 years old. Few will want it because of its' challenges, when for somewhat more money very nice examples may be had. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that the purchase price should not be much over $US100. If this is a sum equal to the value of the enjoyment you will derive from owning it, knowing it will not be easily sold again, then spend the money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
