Probably one of the fastest BIN items while the price tag is pretty high for it... I really wished I had that money to buy such coin... my coin store sells the same coin except that it's totally battered and circulated

Auction item here

Last year, I saw the same coin around the same grade going for around 500-600USD... can't believe it has gone that high

Here is the link of another Napolean defeat commemorative coin.

Another auction

Ooh, see now if I believed in spending that much on excuse my language "World" coins I would get that. It's beautiful.

Undoubtly one of the most beautiful russian coins ever minted, here is another auction link to it, as I guess the pictures earlier on are ugly.

Oh why... Why don't people sell their coins with the ridiculous KM-prices... oh why? oh why!

Hahaha. You know the prices of Russian coins are getting quite horrible especially when auction items in Russia are actually MORE expensive than overseas auction sites, which means something is awfully wrong. Maybe Krause is getting a bit too slow in updating prices

Afterall, this coin has an ultra scarce mintage of 26,500. I know at least 5 of this particular coins that are holed / damaged etc Who knows how many were melted down...

I don't think the prices will cool down any time soon... Although it is getting TOO expensive that I can dream of...

That means we have to hurry with our collections
*Where to get a loan for buying coins?

Another similar coin for sale:

LOL @ $666.

Wished I bought them a lot cheaper... I remember two-three years ago when they were still selling at around 200USD... which I can afford them now easily...

That was a courageous (or foolish??) purchase at that price without even an image of the other side.

Speaking of prices going insane - just within this post that only existed for a few months... here is another similar coin that's slamming around 900USD... I don't know what this will end up to...
