While my pocketbook gently weeps (no money for CICF auction)

Anyone know the "rest of the story" to this group of East Africa coins?

Check out Heritage's CICF Signature World Coin Auction #3009 lot # 21307 East Africa: George V silver Trio 1920H,... (Total: 3 coins)
Florin, shilling, and 25 cents

Here's a group of truly scarce coins in MS64 to 65 (including the shilling, which wasn't released for circulation that year). I'm wondering if they were part of an old collection.

They also had some high grade scarce George V Cyprus silver. Is there an emoticon for drooling?

    Could be worse, you could have sent a bunch of money to Mehi in Romania.

    Mihai? No, you high!

    If I were to have partnered up with that guy in buying/selling rare coins, I bet I'd have had the spare $5k for those East Africa and Cyprus coins! image
