What key coin (s) are you hoping to add to your world coin collection?

For me I really want to add a Peru/Jamaica 1 real counterstamped. Something in this type of grade would be great. This one sold for 612$ back in 2019. Wonder if they are around the same price now or if they have went up in value over the last 6 years? My budget will be 600$-800$.

It's entirely contingent on what becomes available. I don't have any preconceived expectations about it.

I know what coins I am looking to buy, including a minimum quality or appearance, but that's all.

That is an amazing looking coin!!! I would be proud to own such a coin. Hopefully I can locate one in 2025.

I have one I really like. Bought a long time ago from a Spink sale in the UK. Low grade, but nice.

Thanks for sharing!!! Can you send me a PM of what it cost you so I can get an idea of the price ranges.

If you haven't looked on Heritage, 16 prior sales are listed. Last one about a year ago.

I looked at those but trying to get an idea on more recent sales.

Have they risen much over the last 4-5 years in your opinion?

I only know what's on Heritage since I don't look for it otherwise. I can see from the Heritage sales that the trend is up, but that's all. It's not going to be predictive of the next one because these coins don't sell often enough.

I’ll know when I see them… it’s not always black and white

Stacks has sold a few Jamaica counterstamps over the last couple years, same with eBay.

Never a great idea to openly share what you are after, lest you are actively bid up when the time comes. It happens.

Well, long term I’m looking for a gold “Eid Mar” a Greenland “pillar” a 1715 Royal, a 1732 Pillar…ya know, just the run of the mill stuff…

Yeah ain't that the truth. That is why I normally do not but wanted to make a topic to start 2025 getting people excited about the new possibilities with the new year just around the corner. As for the Jamaica counterstamped I will only buy or bid on one I really like so a few may pass before that happens....that should save me possible bidding the coin up by others. Or it could have the opposite effect and someone may send me a link to one via PM like I got yesterday (the coin is out of my price range otherwise I would purchase it). Can go both ways either for the good or for the bad when sharing.

Not a coin but will be buying one early January or February 2025. Looking forward to it so I can take images of my coins and also of new varieties and send the images off to Brad Yonaka for when he comes out with his 2nd edition:
