In the '60s my dad acquired a couple of slot machines - actual one-armed bandits. One fed with nickels, the other with quarters. The money boxes still had change in them, and there were quite a few red quarters in that one machine.

In years past I recall seeing auctions for cheap coins but the shipping was an outrageous amount. Hopefully eBay has nipped that scam in the bud.

Squash, I don't know what would cause corrosion / pitting like that on a gold coin. Can you give us the diameter, thickness, and weight?

jeff, I was perusing one of the auctions on HiBid - I believe it's the Washington Surplus - and people are bidding $8 each for 1 gram Valcambi Suisse silver "bars". Do the math on that!!!
By the way, I made the mistake of buying a few items from one of their previous auctions. Their shipping and insurance charges were astronomical. Never again.

dsking, mighty fine acquisition!
Sorry to be an instigator here, but the Czech Mint also produced a Legend of King Arthur miniseries. One of the coins is Merlin and the Dragons.

Roma, buy it if you can get him down to spot + 10% or so. I've seen similar ones - holed or ex-jewelry damaged - sell for crazy numbers here.

By the way, I looked up the cert and it checks out.
By the way, how much does it cost for a Gold Shield certification and Trueview?
