gxseries Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 None of the coins interest me this time but this thing suprised me: http://www.sixbid.com/nav.php?p=viewlot&am...45&lot=2079 How on earth did that get out of the mint, much less how on earth did it get out of Russia?

In sixbid I see only auctions # 64 (4th May) and # 65 with Russian coins (4-5th May) - that should be auction # 66 then? It is not in sixbid. Could you post link?

squirrel Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 ... you must already have 1762 1 Kopek Peter III? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 ... you must already have 1762 1 Kopek Peter III? squirrel, You probably wanted to quote me, not Sigi. No, I do not own a 1762 1 kopek. Would love to have one. Not at this price though. Since we are on the subject: This was about 5-6 years ago at the New York coin show. They have this professional preview on Thursday before the show starts at $100 per person. I do not go to those any more, since there is nothing there to find anyway, but back then there were ocasional finds. The preveiw starts at 2p.m. (I think) and ends at 6 p.m. So we all wonder around looking for stuff. At around 5 p.m. a friend of mine shows up and pays $100 for the one hour remaining of the preview. Few minutes after that I see him running like crazy towards me. He starts hugging an kissing me and gives me an impression that he totally lost his mind. Then he shows me 1762 1 kopek of Peter III that he just bought from the dealer Richard Margolis who happened to also be late for the show and was just putting out his inventory. Mr. Margolis was in posession of this coin for a few decades and for some reason decided to sell it on that day. The price was $3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I understand. For me, that dream is that it is 1985 again and all kinds of wonderful coins are going begging for buyers and I am young and have nothing else to blow my money on...

For me, that dream is that it is 1985 again and all kinds of wonderful coins are going begging for buyers and I am young and have nothing else to blow my money on... That's a lovely dream. Can I join? With what is happening today, and my relatively limited budget, the coins I can afford are few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-kuna Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 ... you must already have 1762 1 Kopek Peter III? the reason I have not mentioned this kopek above is that it costs a lot of money, and I wish to a future winner of it make very comprehensive research on it; my look to GM number 11 and 12 came with no match verdict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
