panzerman Posted December 18, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Thanks El Cazador! I would have picked those too! Of all places/ I found the Edward VI by chance on Herr Stückler's listing/ took me a split second to hit the buy button. Seen a few of lesser quality exs. in last five years/ all went way higher/ thats without the 20 percent added comm. fees. I not seen coin with "swan"mm. yet. Here is one with "arrow" mm. Sovereign Rarities graded EF-45 sold for 5500UK pds + 20%. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rand Posted December 18, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2023 Amazing coins! I was watching the Avignon coin, but eventually did not bid. Nice to see it in a good company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had someone do a presentation on medieval coinage at our coin club meeting. In a nut shell his analysis was that medieval coins are bland/ boring/ I disagree/ just look at the Spanish/ Italian/ German/ French/ Burgundian coinage....and English/ Scottish! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the Papal coinage from Avignon/ Piacenza/ Rome/ Ancona. However Bologna produced beautifull coins too! The "Tyrant" has a out of this world coll. of Papal gold/ I could only dream off!

Al Kowsky Posted December 19, 2023 · Member Share Posted December 19, 2023 John, Unsurprisingly you had another sensational year 🤩! You seem to be gravitating to more Renaissance coinage of high artistic merit. Many of these coins are of great rarity, many have been melted down, & they are difficult to fake. My favorites are #1, the Mallorca florin of Pedro III, #8, the gem grade Edward IV 1/2 sovereign, & #3, the Paolo scudo d'oro, depicting St. Peter holding a sword. Enjoy your holidays ☺️. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was back at it Saturday/ trimmed a cedar hedge/ really warm for December. This year/ I added coin/ coins from every century. My top wins were from Roman era/ these I will post after Christmas. As for the Scudo d'oro del sole Paolo III there are 5 reverses according to my Nomisma 2 vol. Italian States gold coinage. The first 4 are listed as "common" while mine from Nomisma auction is rated R-5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you really luck out. I happened to look at Herr Stücklers lists and saw it for a very reasonable price. I had gotten a "fast stempelglanz" 1798 AV Guinea last Sept. which in hand looks MS 67. So I pressed buy button! Some of my best coins have come thru MA-shops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
