Got back a little while ago. Pretty much a disappointment for the darksiders amongst us. The only big name in "modern" foreign coins was M. Louis Teller. And of course, Dr. Saslow had his inventory, which is always fun to examine.
I ended up purchasing a $2 United States Note for some kid's 13th birthday, from Harlan Berk. A small lot of coins for another's birthday.
And for myself, a slabbed 1882 Haiti Gourde (one of my all time favorite coins!) and a 1762 Holland Ducaton.
I really was looking for some leeuwendaalder, but the Ducaton is very nice,

Teller had some nice German pieces, but I did not look at them too closely. I was too much taken with the Gourde, Ducaton and a Paraguayan 1889 peso. I decided that budget concerns precluded the peso.
