JeandAcre Posted November 14, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 14, 2023 Wow, @panzerman. I've noticed that Papal issues from the Reformation period run to being spendy. (And, sorry, I don't have any.) But Gold...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerman Posted November 14, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 Actually that coin was CHEAP considering only 3-5 known. A US coin of same rarity would be 1M+ seeing how overpriced USA coins are. Same for British coins/ Una & the Lion over 35 known go for 1M++. Thank God that most Ancients/ World coins are bargains. Here is another one from Papacy.... Papal States/ Bologna AV Scudo d'oro 1656 Bologna Mint Pope Alexander VII Fabio Chigi 1655-67 ALEXANDER * VII.P.M. Chigi Arms surmounted by Triregnum/ Decussate Keys .BONONIA.DOCET.B * P Glided Cross/ on sides Lomellini & Bologna Armettas with Cross 3.27g. 24mm. .986 12h CNI 32 Muntoni 59a MIR 1875/2 Fr. 363 Chimienti 510 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
