hiho Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I received an auction catalog the other day that may well be the most impressive one I have ever seen. Not only are the coins within spectacular, but the photos and descriptions are well researched and informative. Most of the coins are well out of my price range but I will be bidding on one or two that I think I can afford. (I have bid and won coins from this company in the past and they are easily as good as Heritage.) The British section alone contains over 130 pages of coins and photos. Here is the link... http://www.goldbergcoins.com/ And here is one of my favorites: http://www.mkjassociates.com/cgi-bin/ilgvu...=46&lot=276 $15 spent on the European catalog will provide an eye opening education. And for a certain person here, there are two AMAZING Scottish coins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for a certain person here, there are two AMAZING Scottish coins... Don't let the others know. I expect the Unite is going to go for significantly more than the auction estimate, I know my range on that coin is high too, it is an amazing piece and would be a star until I can get the 1575 £20 coin.

hiho Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Of course I can't locate it now but one of the coins has an estimate of $300000+. I suppose I could sell our house to acquire it, but I'm pretty sure my wife would point out that you can't live in a coin. I hate when she's right... Found it.......... http://www.mkjassociates.com/cgi-bin/ilgvu...=46&lot=477 or if you prefer a Russian Ruble, one of two known.......... http://www.mkjassociates.com/cgi-bin/ilgvu...=46&lot=802 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate... I'll make everyone here swear not to bid on the Scottish coins. If you make them ignore the Dutch and Swiss lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I am going to buy a Noble sometime in the next few months, they are truly lovely coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 WOW! There are some gorgeous samples that I'd love to add to my crown collection! It's a shame that I enjoy sleeping on a bed indoors so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I am going to buy a Noble sometime in the next few months, they are truly lovely coins. When my sons are both done with college, I may invest in a Noble. If I have any money left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I almost bought one many years ago, then disagreed with the seller and ended up buying this with my Noble money from another dealer: An extremely rare variant of a David II groat, with seven arcs. At least I got a Scottish out of the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Nice groat, very well struck. There are quite a few coins that I "almost" bought too. Some of them I really should have jumped on while I had the chance, while others I'm glad I walked away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
