    What a great sale! If all auctions were like this, I'd be broke pretty quick.

    And just about everything was already PCGS-graded. :)

    All excellent additions. The Trautson talers are tough in any grade, but that Salzburg taler is really speaking to me. I think you did well at MDC. What was your experience with the auction house so far?

    I'm always impressed buy the amount of detail they were able to strike into coins like those 300+ years ago. The hair detail is exceptional!

    Wow, I had a couple of fights today and went strong but still got blown out in the end....

    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.

    ??? The MDC sale was over yesterday. Do you mean Gadoury?

    All I managed was one coin at MDC--and paid dearly for it.

    I also picked up one coin at Gadoury.

    Both previously graded at PCGS Paris, so it saves me grief.

    @pruebas the P50C is beautiful!!!!

    Edit: the reverse on the other coin is bad ass

    Thanks! It's St. Michael slaying the dragon.

    Yeah, King Norodom I of Cambodia is about as handsome as Sucre (though I will leave the ultimate determination up to @Stella!).

    Way to go on the Mexican! I meant to ask you if you won it. Congrats!

    That is the difference between a good and an epic or great collection... paying dearly.

    @pruebas Perhaps we can discuss the reverse design instead to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. ;)
