    Nice detail on the obverse. Seems most have issues with the cannon or the cannon balls, nice. High AU is my wag on the grade.

    I'm away from my reference books so I can't give you a Fuld number, but I know this variety is common but popular because of the cannon design.

    Sorry to say this, but I don't think the surfaces are original. It looks like it's been cleaned to "restore" the red color. I'm on my lap top which gives me so-so images, but I"m 90% sure than I'm correct.

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I think it has been plated, but I also think it was plated by the original issuer, so it is "as made". However I reserve the right to change my mind since I can't see it in hand. F-168/311a

    i like, but no idea on the grade. at first glance i am wondering if it has original surfaces. but, i don't know enough about this particular coin to say for sure...that's just my instinct.
