    Thanks. All those white specs are dust from the 2x2, not on the coin.

    WOW! Amazing coin. Practically uncirculated, nice patina!!! Great find. I think it's worth a good bit of money in that condition.

    When I see a very old copper coin that looks like this one - the caramel brown color and the red hilites, along with the wonderful strike and detail - it just amazes me that everybody isn't out collecting copper!!! Although I guess that's a good thing - more for me and less competition on price !!! image

    Sort of a shame the wear on the lion and the soldier. Except for that it is in pretty good shape.

    The lion looks like a low point to me. I don't think that is wear, probably strike.

    I would like to think that is correct ajaan. The anchor in the middle looks to be the high point and it is not worn. With a 5 X glass you can see the spokes on the wagon wheels very clear.

    The ship is that non-motorized land cruiser, aka covered wagon!

    Wybrit, get real. You know Conman wouldn't give away something so valuable! Instead, he'd have it slabbed and brag about it being 5th best known example in the world, blah blah.image
