And with its platchet it was struck from were supplied by Scovill mfg. Co. Of Waterbury Conn. @ twenty cents a pound....back in the day. So acetone and verdi care so far here she is...minor tripling effects visible on the tops of most of the legend class VI distended hub doubling. R~6 premium factor 8.0 x - 12.0x retail @ par on condition. So I grade this specimen xf-40 details altered surfaces due to the gilting.

expat Posted July 12 · Supporter Share Posted July 12 I just bought a lot of 6 assorted AS's for under 60 Euros delivered. They are all very worn or pitted and were unattributed. But, I thought I saw two that are uncommon. A Lucius Verus with trophy and captive reverse and possibly a Hadrian with Honos reverse. I have no plans for restoration, the history speaks for itself. They are happy to see the light of day, so it is with great pleasure to bring these dead out. Â 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayAg47 Posted July 12 · Member Share Posted July 12 (edited) I like hunting for cruddy silver coins for bargain to see if I can bring out the details within. Intermediate owl tetradrachm, A Chola stater, although this coin was not a bargain ($100) back in 2020, I had to have it for my South Indian kingdom collection, but just last year I got a much better example for the same price.  A siliqua of Julian the Apostate, And a denarius of Augustus  Edited July 12 by JayAg47 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
