And the problem with being outbid on some stuff is that you're left with way too much money to bid on the things on your list that haven't closed yet

Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg. Georg Wilhelm Reichstaler 1662-HS AU53 NGC, Zellerfeld mint. KM57.1, Dav-6528. Wonderful old toning over strong luster, with a bold strike of the "Wildman."

**George III gold Guinea 1776 AU55 PCGS, KM604, S-3728. Arguably the most popular date for the type, exhibiting a lovely shade of rose-gold seldom found on gold coins which intensifies very nearly to maroon. A coin with one-of-a-kind eye appeal. **

Very nice. Why the oversize NGC holder...or am I missing something ?

Overshadows the coin!

I'm partial to the wildman. Wonderful facial details.

Large flan.

Imagine the size of the CAC sticker needed for the oversized slab!

NGC uses 45mm as the cutoff for a standard size slab. This piece is just a hair over. And a little out of round.

Very nice, especially like the Guinea! Are you doing the World Coins in Early America registry set on PCGS? I created it with them and it seems to have some traction.
