I've been trying to slow my buying down a bit (saving up for the biggest purchase of my life, eeek!), but this presented itself to me last night, and I couldn't pass it up. You guys know I have a weakness for toned gold! What do you think?

A spirited 1776!
I thought boscoreale toning only came on ancients!

Beautiful!
Hell Yeah!
I love it. Who does not love gold? You said slowing down? Okaayyy. LOL
Very beautiful coin with a really neat date as a nice bonus.

Cool year and toning! Nice addition!
Makes me wonder though, what is the REALLY big purchase you are saving up for???
I wudda too.
While not a fan of colored gold (no idea what caused that), I do like that coin...and what a great date... Cheers, RickO
That's beautiful 18th century gold.
You have a good eye.

Had some of these once, another dealer brought them up to me and said could you pay melt. I said yes.
The 4 came back between ms-63 to 65

yeah I would have bought that too that is one of my favorites of all your toned gold
It's gold, what's not to like.
Wild thing, I think I......

yeah, that's nice
Okay, we're on the edge of our seats. What's the upcoming biggie?
very high coolness factor: knight in armor, 1776 date, it's a ducat (who doesn't like to say "ducat" emphatically?) and oh yeah it's toned.
Nothing coin related, unfortunately (or thankfully??). My uncle owns a few apartment buildings that I've now managed for about 5 years, and my wife and I are buying a couple of them in January. I think it will be good in the long run, but the next few years may be pretty tight, lol.
I approve apartment buildings. Wish I had done that in my younger days. Smart.
Will you have them slabbed?
There was a young man from Nantucket,
Who purchased a nicely toned Ducat;

Like it.
Great-looking coin. I like it!
Nice gold toning, JWitten. But with all the swag you made on the Palladium buy/sells, I figured you would be in clover, rolling in dough able to buy nice coins like that!
Neat coin. Great color!
