Got my Heritage World Coin Auction Catalog today, lots of yummy looking coins.



Any one see that gorgeous Swiss set from 1850?

I saw that Swiss set - and the price tag. Beautfiul bits.

Not much British this time around.

I found one I need really bad to complete my Commonwealth 1/2d set.

I believe that 1850 Swiss set is from the Pittman Collection, but I can't find that auction cat. to confirm. I do remember one of the billon pieces had a nasty bit of verdigris on one side...pity, that. I do so hate verdigris.

Also, note the 1861B and the 1923 5 Franc....

Very tempting set.





But I'm saving to go to the ANA show, so you can have it boys.

I breezed through it but will spend more time today. Lots of neat coins to look at. There are also more boxed sets and boxed singles than I ever remember seeing in HWCA one auction.

I was not sent a hard copy.

I think all the good British is over at the Goldbergs Auction, and I do see some stuff there I want.....
