Nice one from the Joshman!

Got this one in the mail today. Had been eyeing it for a while, and with the 15% off sale I just had to do it.
I suspected that it might be more lustrous and colorful than the picture implied... I was right.
It also appears to be slightly undergraded, which is highly unusual for PCI. I would put it at AU55-58 rather than AU50.

Nice Pickup !
I've had my eye on it for a while.
Should look real nice in your collection
I traded off my late 19th century 10 gulden as partial trade for this piece.
It was a difficult piece to part with, but I can probably replace it far easier than coming across another one of these in this condition. I kicked myself for missing out on the last two he had a month or so back.
It is interesting that a 10 stuiver is about the same diameter and weight of a 2 reales. I'm going to have to look into that correlation a little more.
<< <i>Here's mine - I just confirmed the purchase yesterday.
I s'pose I should acquire a tribute piece such as this one since my immigrant ancestor to the Colonies was carrying about 300 guilders (gulden ? ) when he arrived in 1750. He lived in the modern day Alsace region, and departed Europe from Rotterdam.
How much was that in gold coins?

hmmm, quite a few gold coins on 300.

Cilicia (or Syria?) Posideia 4th Century BC AR Obol 11mm. 0.78g. Helmeted head of Athena facing; cap or helmet at right. Head of Nymph facing. POCIDHWN. SNG Levante -; SNG France 2 -. Good VF
It arrived today. I have the article in The Celator that first attributed it, but it fits in nicely with three Cilicia fractionals from uncertain cities I already own. Harlan J Berk has one listed in similar condition for over twice as much!
<< <i>I also bought a nice original Canadian Vicky 50c.
Original color coins are always cool.
