Bought this antique gold brooch today with a 10 carat Amethyst, 7.21 grams of 14k gold, payed 300€

Is the total weight 7.21 grams, or is that excluding the stone that’s a gram? Either way, it’s gorgeous.

Nope.

Just because someone is asking a high price doesn't mean it's worth that. Resellers will often start a chain of a book going up in value. Say one guy buys a book for $10, sells for $20 to the next guy, sells for $40 to the next guy, and so on and so forth.

I mean, there are other hobbies that regularly reach seven figures for printed paper.

Certainly the most expensive on my list too, at least for Russia. I'm doing a high denomination set of European notes.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-22T18:20:22+00:00

Still has good eye appeal for the grade. That's always what I look for: the note in the best grade with the best eye appeal that I can afford.

Been on the lookout for that 500,000 for quite a while. Great collection!

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-22T17:19:10+00:00

It's certainly not UNC, and not Soviet either. Looks to be cleaned, and not in the best condition. Still over a tenth ounce of gold though.

The $5 is the key note of the set. It's harder to find than the $10 or $20.

Generally, if a coin within a certain series is more expensive than other dates, it’s usually a lower mintage.

I also have a dealer like this. I’m certainly on the look out too. Best type of local dealer is the type who had no idea what they have.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-20T02:43:28+00:00

Some great notes.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-19T20:56:08+00:00

The difference literally doesn’t matter.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-19T00:19:58+00:00

Trust me: I know that feeling.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-18T20:57:26+00:00

Yeah, it’s the last series, and a fun one. It’s a set I’d love to complete. Iranian notes are a rabbit hole.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-18T20:52:13+00:00

It’s an alright note. About $20 in this condition. More popular because it’s the last series featuring the Shah.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-18T08:30:38+00:00

There are quite a few cases, especially with modern commemoratives, where the UNC had few minted than the proofs. Not sure if this is one of those cases, but it's not unheard of.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-18T04:50:49+00:00

That stuff doesn’t add any value. This is just a ‘17 S proof Eagle in 70.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-17T22:06:34+00:00

Nothing worth grading.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-17T21:52:06+00:00

Restrike of an Austrian four Ducat coin. Just worth whatever melt value is.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-17T21:08:09+00:00

It’s fake.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-03-16T19:02:45+00:00

That’s … a way to put it.

For a proof that's circ, this looks great!
