<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SPP Ottawa, post: 1503442, member: 39508&quot;]This was my best cherry pick. Bought it for $10 in 2008 from a dealer who had no clue of international coins. This dealer strictly dealt with Canadian coins, he probably didn&#039;t even bother to have a Krause Catalogue - to him, world silver meant bullion. This was a coin of pure nickel (and not silver), therefore the dealer thought it was worthless. I sent it to PCGS and then consigned it at the August 2010 World Heritage Auction.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3010&amp;lotNo=21897" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3010&amp;lotNo=21897" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3010&amp;lotNo=21897</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Sold for US$2760, including the hammer fee. From that same dealer, at a subsequent coin show, I also bought these two coins, which cost me $20 each (plus PCGS certification afterwards). I consigned them to the same Heritage auction.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3010&amp;lotNo=20227" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3010&amp;lotNo=20227" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3010&amp;lotNo=20227</a></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3010&amp;lotNo=20228" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3010&amp;lotNo=20228" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3010&amp;lotNo=20228</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Sold for US$1840 and US$2530, respectively. The moral of the story, just because a world coin is not gold or silver, does not mean it is junk material!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
