Gee, that's really something !

I'm not in though !
Selling my house, my office, our cars, my entire collection and probably my kids, wouldn't bring half of what will be needed to get this unique piece of art !

And best of all, it has a known provenance dating back more than 20 years, and was in "a Swiss private collection" before that, so if you buy it, it'll sail right through Customs!

I just watched the latest Ancient Coin Podcast episode, # 39, last night, and was interested to see Aaron Berk discuss this coin as part of their best coins of 2023 review.

Aaron said he'd held this coin at the NAC auction and that it was one of the most exciting coins he'd ever held in his life, which is quite saying something!

The coin is discussed at 28:55.

Hooray for the return of the Doofus Buy!

I entered their competition last episode - was hoping to win a "don't be a doofus" cap, but no such luck!

Not sure I'd have actually worn it though.

The video makes the depth of engraving much more impressive than the photo. I suppose those who can pay over $2m have a trusted representative closely look coins over before bidding, or maybe they even view the coins themselves, but that video makes it clear to the rest of us how gorgeous that coin is. Magnificent!

This 1913 5 cents Liberty Head 5 known sold for 3.17M/ so this Probus 8 Aurei is 5X rarer/ 100X more beautifull a steal for 2.4M SFRCS. But/ I would not give up half of my collection for it either.
