Hi Everyone,

I was thinking (probably a bad idea) about the one coin I would trade my whole coin collection for. That one coin that you only dream about buying but probably will never get the chance to own.

What is your dream coin?

Paul

This is my dream coin, well as least one of them:

Here is another one (well at least I can dream)

And why not dream big?

I was completely unaware of this coin til your post. Very interesting, beautiful and if I were a wealthy man I would buy it.

Alas I am not, so I must limit myself to lesser wonders. While I dream of Ferrari, I drive Audi.

Oh well.

Alas, indeed.....this magnificent coin is in the Royal Coin Cabinet in Brussels....and is one of a kind.

I was graciously allowed to see it and it took my breath away.

Mary,

Go big or go home. Nice choice.

And it's not Seleukid?

That is a truly amazing coin. I have never seen this one before.

It is part of the de Hirsch collection, and is kept - by itself - in an enormous safe!
