TAKE A CHANCE FROM TIME TO TIME

Coins-World | Longstrider

   A while back I saw a coin on a not so well known auction site that is on line. I've been looking at their lots from past auctions and was quite impressed with the quality and price range of them. This company, sort of, specializes in ancient and world coins. I don't know a lot about world coins but I have always admired the Soverign. I  find it a beautifully artistic design. As a reptile lover, I am quite fond of the dragon on  the reverse, even though he is having a bad day. This particular Soveriegn was minted in 1927 in Pretoria, South Africa. The site described the coin as uncirculated. It looked good, even though it has some light scratches? in the fields. I did my due research and put down a bid.

It really made me feel relieved. I think I'll stick to coins already slabbed for a while.
