panzerman Posted October 22, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 Thanks El Cazador/ Q☺️ I never tried bidding on these/ they always fetch high hammer prices/ if they are good quality. This one from Herr Stückler (MA-shops) was one of the nicest exs I have ever seen/ better then Sincona's (British Auctions 1/2/3/4) or Theo Law Coll./ Stacks 2014. So I got it for myself for a Christmas present! Also/ "Arrow" "inverted Y" mint marks are seen on most/ "Swan" m.m. is rarer. Sometimes/ you never know what new coin you end up with/ makes this past time so much fun! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
