This is one of those coins I wish was mine, but alas, the bullion price pushed it out of reach. I missed out on this guy in 2000 and have regretted being to stingy ever since. The price has tripled.

The owner was kind enough to let me photograph it for my wish list.

Drool along with me. (Sigh)

Oh...Yes! I do too! :-( But cheer up Don! As the Japanese say, "the fish never caught is always big"! Nice image! Again, the superimposition on the Austrian flag is very elegant!

Well Don I couldnt think of a better way to look at these coins other than the way you have presented them here. I think this looks much better than just turning them in the palm of the hand, and colourful too! Well done!

I would love to have one too - but I would sell it and travel around. Smile. You presented this one very charming and even thought of our flag.

Well, it's worth about $1000 now, right Don? Back in 2000, I think it was about $267 and ounce. I'd love to have this too! Great macro.
