won my first two Teletrade auctions tonight, and in particular, the French coin is one that really strikes my artistic fancy

    Love 'em both, but I have always liked the French design, it is one of the classics!

    Both are nice purchases. The rupee looks quite nice for an AU-50.

    funny, the rupee was an impulse buy. i know zero about it, but liked the design and thought $15 was a fair price

    Wow, both are very nice. I really love the design of the 1873 Fance 5F. Nice buys.

    You did well on both, especially the French coin. I've always thought those coins are overpriced on eBay.

    thanks! I really wanted a nice example, and I still may have overpaid at $65; nonetheless, I was more interested in getting a nice example to keep, and not grumbling over a few bucks here and there.

    I'd buy that all day long at $65. I've been watching a gorgeous PCGS MS66 on Ebay for months... the seller wants just STUPID money for it and won't come down, so there it sits. image

    Stupid money is right. I paid $50 for my PCGS 64, and bought a couple of raw BU examples in France for 15 euros each.
