    It does seem cheap! Too cheap, in fact. Has anyone looked it up in Friedberg to check its market value and rarity?

    I'm very suspicious of it. Especially the purity of .999 fine! And "dig_it"'s guarantee of authenticity isn't exactly awe inspiring to me. Also the seller states the coin hasn't been cleaned. Doesn't look like an original surface to me.

    On another note, I've been to Venice and have seen the Doge's palace and the theoretical (but not, really) burial area of St. Mark. Which is at the Duomo di San Marco right next to the Doge's palace.

    It's not so cheap - Krause lists it at $300 in XF - $120 in VF. Freidberg says $250/$350. By the way - the statistics for the coin are correct.

    I have bought from dig-it a few times - never been disappointed.

    Geez. People still use Freidberg? I thought that was rather, umm... dated. Well, at least my edition of it is. I guess they have newer editions. The only time I ever consult Freidberg is regarding something before 1601, before where the Krause coverage kicks in. The prices in my Freidberg are so whacked I seldom look at it except to familiarize myself with certain types I haven't seen. But then again, my edition came out when bullion prices were a lot higher.

    As to the Venetian ducats/zecchini, they're fairly common, I guess ("common" being a relative term in this case). Early-date ducats from the Netherlands are also quite often surprisingly affordable.

    (Edit to add- the pictures in that auction were not working when I clicked the link. It did seem a rather lofty price for a bunch of red X's, LOL)

    ALWAYS !!!!! image The 7th edition is one year old and way more accurate in its pricing than Krause Gold.

    It's a common one,no doubt about it; I'm very wary of zechinos if I don't see them in hand,but if the dealer enjoys a good rep in this forum, go for it image
