he suggested that I have it graded

By all means; have it graded ASAP and please post the results here.  It's a fake and here is what a real one looks like:

I do hope everyone knows that the comment is just foolishness.  I subscribe to two Nationally known Coin Dealers and would not trade them for the world.  Over the years they have been truly outstanding in helping me get what I wanted.

It's one of the few coins I own for pleasure,

And very nice indeed.  I own some Scot money; also for pleasure.  I don't collect it but the notes I found very attractive.  Thanks.

"Gothic" crown of Victoria

Must be a very old one to have Victoria looking that young.  Very nice Roger; coins of the British Empire are always fascinating.

Or sitting for decades in a European safe deposit box…

Way to spoil a man's dreams.   

Maybe part of the Merker's Mine Hoard.  Seems the Germans want some of their gold back they say is 'missing'.

I like the history that is attached to old gold

Yessir.  I have gold and silver bullion but I find myself always looking at the Civil War Era gold and the Carson City gold coins.  There's something about a Half Eagle that may have been in an 1880 poker game.

Finally got it in hand today. 

Beautiful; absolutely beautiful.  I'll bet you can't take your eyes off that one.  Congratulations.  

Now this should be a very interesting thread.  

JP:  That is one beautiful coin.

Please list me as Number 2.  Don't have a Mint Account, haven't bought a US Mint product since I bought that piece of bullion formerly known as the 'Old San Francisco Dollar'.  Who needs the US Mint when we have EBay the wonderful????

If anyone knows of other items

There is some Alabama Obsolete Currency sold on EBay but it's very expensive IMO.

Magnificent tone.

I forgot why I left the Mint many years ago

Me too.  No wonder the Mint wouldn't give me a Privy coin - NO ACCOUNT!

Mint limit was 10 of each, not 5...

I'll bet you are correct.  I thought that it was 10 total; 5 of each.  Wonder how many folks got 10 of each?

1 hour ago, Treeman said:

I don't know; didn't get any.

Sorry about that.  You certainly weren't the only one.  Lots of those folks ATS either just got one or none.  In the past 30 years I only bought one Old San Francisco Dollar from them and, while disappointing Flip wise, was a nice coin.  Good luck on the second round.

Looks like the next set of pre-orders for June 1st and 7th has been postponed. 

The US Mint is claiming a "global silver shortage"..  Then why can I buy as many private mint rounds or 100 ounce bars I want?
