Yeah it's a good deal, the coin is definitely uncirculated and £3,750 at the current exchange rate is around NZ$7,300

Hey, there's 45,000 members on Numista.  If we all chip in 10c each we can be part owners.  Of course I'd keep it at my house and you can all come round to see it whenever you like  ;)

Sure, with the same conditions of course, I keep it at my house and you can come and visit it any time you like.  It's only a 14 hour plane trip from France to New Zealand  ;)

Oops that's right, you're in Japan at the moment.  That's even better, it's only an 8 hour flight from Japan.

Well OK :) always wanted to visit New Zealand. Why does everyone thinks I'm from France, I've never lived there. (I'm German)

You're running the French side of the MPCC, I just assumed you were French.  I guess it's true what they say, when you assume you make an ass of you and me (Ass-u-me)  ;)

  As I knew I could never afford the original, I bought a replica, and this very large (89mm) version ...

                               

 Other pictures of the large version I own. Here is me holding it lovingly ...

I got my gothic for about 15 dollars. You can get a VF for around 80.

Nice - but you have a florin (2 shillings) - this topic is for the crown (5 shillings) coin. :)

I know.  It's not just the fact that it's uncirculated, but the way it's toned is really attractive.  It really highlights the portrait on the ovberse.
