That's a wonderful example.

It's fine.

I've slowed down considerably since Covid. I will continue to do what I normally do, buy what grabs my eye and if the price is reasonable. And continue to not bother with over seas purchases, which is shame, but less headaches.

Can't leave things alone. We're one greedy species.

The coin looks fine to me too. I would add it to my collection, but not for 1700.

Slightly overstruck. Die break on nose.

Would be fun to own, just due to how bad it is.

Looks fine, just a copper spot, looks stable.

Perfectly fine.

Great example, congrats.

Perfectly fine.

Yeah I don't have much faith in the package ever showing up. I will give the USPS a call today and see what they say. 

Kinda bummed since the package includes a drachm of Bhartrdaman. I've been wanting one for a long time and finally found one that I could afford. 

Same, mine has a coin type I have wanted for over a decade and just waiting for the right one to come along.

USPS is all messed up these past few weeks. I have a few packages that are having issues at the moment. I know it's the holidays, but this has been going on even before thanksgiving.

It's better than the other one. I don't see any issues.

Rare

Some of the pitting could be active bronze disease, or had it, at one time.

Other than the condition issues, it has, it's fine.

Yes, it's perfectly fine.

It's lovely, congrats. What's the size of it?
