    Very nice. It was probably Frank's coin that you saw. BTW where is Frank? He has not logged on since June 30.image

    I had one o' those I got in a bulk silver lot.

    Naturally, it wasn't that nice.

    You know what was funny? I had never seen one of these in person before and it took me a good 2 or 3 minutes to find the date! Ha, now that made me feel like a serious novice....kinda cool though I've never owned a coin with the date on the edge.

    I was kinda wondering where you got the date! image

    One of my absolute favorite Italian designs - sometimes you can find these with real beautiful toning. Nice catch!!

    I've usually seen this piece called a "Caravelle".... Is that a reference to the obverse, the reverse, or something else?
