    Yes, indeed. You and Steve were anchoring the back of the auction room. I was there hoping for some gold bits for myself, and bidding as agent for some clients. They were successful image, but I was swamped by a whale's "tidal wave". image I still covet that 1842 sovereign that I missed.

    That was a great sale, and just makes you wonder when the next mega-collection will surface.................you never know.

    That is an unreal coin. The toning is spectacular.

    Millennia specimen? Which sale? Sorry for being out of the loop.

    Millennia Collection


    Grab a image - some pizza, and enjoy.

    This Millennia collector practically swept the board for the first Terner sale in 2003, and that was after an earlier private deal for over $1M in hammered goodies. He probably added another $7-10M in the next 4-5 years (he actually probably started much earlier), and then sold it all for north of $20M, IIRC.
