Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 7:31 pm Marti- I would say the show was a success. 1)The Greek : I have seen the before and yours is not bad. 2)The Elizabeth : Fabulous. I do collect these and I think yours is absolutely wonderful. Its actually quite hard to find any denomination Elizabeth with even a small amount of detail. The ones that do have a detail on the bust seem to be of much greater value. As long as you didn't pay a fortune, I would say your in the good. 3)The Japanese : I want one! I was in Japan in 2005. Good choice. I have been wanting a gold one. Some good old Samurai money. 4)Gold is always money in the future. Everything you bought I would have considered buying. So Great job my friend.

MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 8:57 pm AncientNoob, I know about how poor most of these hammered English coins are simply because of how shallow the strike is. Been looking for a good Elizabeth for awhile. I bought this for $25.00. It was listed for 35.00 which I thought was a great price. The seller offered it to me for 25.00 without me even haggling. I jumped right on it. :) Edited by MartiVltori 11/03/2013 8:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
