Purely because of my collecting areas I love the Kushan but all are stunning coins! Great year! Thanks! I like Kushan too/ plus Kushano-Sassanian/ Kidarites/ Huna coinage. I am now looking into Gupta AV coinage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy_collector Posted January 10, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) Impressive additions, @panzerman. My favorites are #1, 6 and 15. The 8-brother (#15) design is so special.

CNG once had a 3/4 Dukat from series in their auction. Friedberg list 10 diff. denominations from 10/ 8 Dukaten down to 1/4 Dukat/ all are super rare. But then any 10 or 8 Dukaten coins in high quality are 6 figures. Seems the original strikes are unique or MIA. However from 1725 -1845/ the aristocrats in Czarist Russia had some rare pieces struck from original dies at St. Petersburg Mint. The "Novodels" struck in tiny numbers would be then collected by Grand Dukes/ nobility. Most novodels are known from less then five examples today. I’m afraid to know how much that set you back, but totally worth it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you 100 percent. Nice thing is/ when you are down a bit/ what I do is sit down in the basement and look at these pieces of history just before bedtime. Usually have nice dreams after...... That coin was 6K including 20% fees/ in Euros = close to 9K Can. My Mother always regretted leaving Germany/ the crappy currency would be a good reason enough!!!! Canadians are at a huge disadvantage to rest of the World in their purchasing power. When we had a Conservative govt. back in 2010/ our money was over par with US$. That all went kaput with Trudeau. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I moved from Canada shortly after JT got into power. I’m not one to talk politics on this forum but I totally agree with you that he has been completely reckless with the the management of the country. FYI I’m from Sask originally so we are known not to be Trudeau supporters not PT or JT, so my comments may be biased. At least Pierre was intelligent, I’ll give him that. Politicians like JT are now a dime a dozen unfortunately. Here’s to hoping the pendulum swings back the other way.
