Restitutor Posted May 24, 2023 · Administrator Share Posted May 24, 2023 I heard from a very reputable source that the Baron de Chambrier is devastated his EID MAR coin no longer holds the title as most expensive ancient coin sold! 😆 7 1 1 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewStyleKing Posted May 26, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Ha, ha, ha!🤣👍 They also sold the Codex Sinaiticus to the BM to raise money for "Ukraine relief!" I must admit I do not like the coin and see nothing "in it". I'd rather save my money for the auction 918 Bruun Rasmussen as the Greeks have the Chambrier coin hidden somewhere!

Al Kowsky Posted May 27, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) For the disappointed bidders who couldn't afford $6 million for the NAC stater, the coin pictured below would have been an excellent alternative 😊. This breathtaking stater sold a few days ago at CNG Feature Auction 123, with an estimate of $75,000 it sold for $196,000 🤓. The coin was graded by NGC: MS, Strike 5/5, Surface 4/5, Fine Style. I love the griffin on the reverse 😍. Of course the big difference in price between these coins was the 3/4 view of the NAC Stater, versus the profile view of Pan on the CNG Stater 😉. https://auctions.cngcoins.com/lots/view/4-9K4CKK/cimmerian-bosporos-pantikapaion-circa-340-325-bc-av-stater-205mm-912-g-11h-ngc-ms-55-45-fine-style Edited May 27, 2023 by Al Kowsky spelling correction 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulla80 Posted December 3, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) I've been waiting for prices to get to this level before selling this one - likely to achieve a new record...Before his accession to the throne, Sriranga III was rebelling against his uncle Venkata III. After deserting the Bijapur army, Sriranga III headed to Vellore and made himself the King of Vijayanagara. This coin will be very popular with anyone interested in the history of the English East India Company which Sriranga III brought into South India.
