I've been building up a collection of Eliasberg gold coins to go along with my world gold coin collection. A special thanks must go to Marcel for helping me with what I have so far.
If anybody has any Eliasberg gold I would love to see them.

I have a couple of them

1961 Iceland 500 Kronur NGC MS-67
1860 R Guatemala Gold 1 Peso XF45
I find it quite hard to photograph through slabs, so the pictures aren't great,
but here's the rest of mine:

A knowledgable collector recently told me that he subtracts from the price (rather than paying a premium) when buying an Eliasburg coin. He maintains that most Eliasberg coins were over graded in order to add to the promotional hype when his collection came to market. Has anyone found this to be true?

Thats an excellent point. Yet, the provenence of having his name on the slab nullifies any discount applied to the coin being over graded I believe. I once saw just a very average liberty nickel in an NGC slab with an asking price of 5 times sheet!
Thanks Dimitri. I don't think so. From what I can find out it was only minted for four years 1868, 1869, 1871 & 1872.
That's the beauty with collecting world gold and not limiting my collection to one country, there is a whole variety of designs to choose from.

I've suspected some I've seen IMO may be over graded, but I can't be sure as I don't specialise in the countries they were issued for and they could just be weakly struck. I guess the tip would be, as with collecting any coin, buy the coins you like the look of and not just the number on the slab.
I also agree with geko in that any coin with a provenance will most likely carry a premium.

Just see my avatar for my favourite Eliasberg piece in my collection.
My Hard drive is likely to be going for a service tomorrow so I won't be online for a week or so ( just to let eveyone know if I don't return PM's during that time ).
