fnd1234 Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/02/2016 10:56 pm I inherited a large amount of my grandfather's coin collection when he passed, but everything in his safe (including the coins he kept in there) were auctioned off. I was able to get my hands on these! Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 06:16 am I can understand why the coins in the safe were auctioned. They may have been too valuable to keep. That is what I had to do with my old collection, when I needed enough money to pay for a deposit for my first house. Report this Post to the Staff

Also, the 1863 thaler has some nice looking toning starting around the edges. And, well, I have some gold now too Thanks for all the replies! Also Joe2007, I'm pretty sure the ducats are from the Netherlands. Thanks so much for the link, too! Report this Post to the Staff
