Took a gamble and bought this one raw overseas. Looks very original (seller image) and is considered to be a tougher type.

Great looking piece!

Very attractive Zohar. How many pieces will it take to "finish" the collection?

Thanks guys. Probably a lifetime quest given the varieties. In terms of rulers I am pretty much there yet would love to get more of the mint varieties.

This one was a toughie though

Grats, Z!

My brother is visiting from Pittsburgh, btw. Apparently he knows you and sold you some Goetz medals recently. We're doing shots and talking coins. He promises to pack the coins better next time.

Happy weekend!
