A travesty...

coinpictures

My local coin shop has a bag of "foreign melt" that you can pick through and buy at spot silver. Mostly modern, or well-worn classic material.

I had to pick this one up. I like the design, and even though the back is marred from jewelry mounting, the obverse is in nice shape.

It's a shame. Without the damage, the coin is easily an XF, if not AU.

Ah! the ol' pin removal. Nice coin otherwise.

Poor little coin. But nevertheless, neat one! I have a coin like that too that I picked up this month.




Could be a VF+ or XF-, pity that the mount covered up parts of the fonts. Nevertheless, a good value for what I paid for or else, I would have expected to pay much more even for a F+ of that coin.

I wouldn't mind finding one of those.
