>>20870448definitely cleaned and polished unfortunately but it is still worth gobs, very nice score man!
>>20870459You beat me to getting the first ancient gold coin, congrats! To put it nicely, your Gallic forebears who made it must've caused more artistically fluent Greek and Roman die-cutters to scratch their heads lol, but no one can deny that it has lots of character. What does it weigh?
>>20870465>i got for 15 buxbased cheapies are based
>>20870559>>20870563Damn, I've never owned one of those. Looks like some planchet irregularities and/or some weakness of the strike may make the reverse look more worn than it is so I figure it's a solid Good-06, with pretty nice surfaces and an attractive obverse. I bet you could get $300+ for it really easily, those liberty cap cents are *extremely* popular with burgerlard collectors and are guaranteed to inspire jellyness.
>>20870585absolutely patrician and ridiculously cool, damn!
>>20870622Fascinating history thanks for sharing, I'm surprised it's not worth more but that should make it easier to justify keeping. Condition is indeed exquisite, it would be AU if not for the minor surface porosity and the strength of the strike and nice planchet make it even better, I really like that one man.
>>20870644Have you heard of "brockage" errors, where a coin gets stuck in one of the dies of the coining press and then gets smashed into the next fresh planchet that gets fed in? We'd need an accurate weight and measurements but if it's not just something a bored dude made by sandwiching coins in a vice it could be pretty special. What is the orientation/alignment of the obverse and reverse, does it match a normally struck 10 centesimi?
>>20870656Is that from Ainos?
>>20870766>how much did you got it for?About $84 shipped so not cheap, but if you look around you'll see that $80 will normally only afford one in significantly worse condition, here's the obverse.
