Ajaan wanted this until he found gold

I met Ajaan for the 2005 Rochester Numismatic Association show: this appealed to him until he found gold- so I grabbed it because I trusted his instincts. This particular Bulgarian coin goes for far less than Krause in VF or XF (in my experience). - I'm almost sure this is AU but certainly XF+, what do you think?

You never showed the gold , did you Ajaan? Now is the time...

    Looks like a nice XF to me, with some colorful, tasty toning.

    So show us the gold, shroom!!!

    I still like that coin. There's just something about large silver coins from the 19th Century.

    Here is a quick image of the coin I bought at the Rochester 2005 show.

    That coin is part of Mrs. ajaan's European gold set, so if you want it, you'll have to fight her for it. Please give me the address of the hospital you will be recovering in.

    OK, maybe I don't want it that bad.

    PS: it looks like you got one of those with PL surfaces, which aren't all that common.

    very nice... excellent color and looks like a European EF coin. I would have listened to Ajaan too...

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    It's never too late for a small type set of 1/4 oz coins,most are so close to BV... I don't understand why anyone should feel trapped because of decisions taken a long time ago. Except marriage that is. image
