All,

I just picked this up in an Italian coin shop. It's a beautiful
Design that I thought I'd never actually own. The price was very reasonable for what I thought it was, thought it is still the most expensive single coin I have ever purchased. My thought: first, it's a good story, the Italian coin I bought in Italy.
Second, if I'm right, it's a great deal. If I'm wrong, it's worth 75% of what I paid for
It. So, maybe win and lose isn't too bad.

I will tell what I paid, but please give your opinions. All of this done on a iPhone, so a little brief.
Hopefully the photos are good enough.

What a beautiful coin. I cannot say what you might have paid but now I am even more looking forward to the 3 weeks I will spend in Tuscany with my fiancee in September :)

I already know one coin shop in Florence that I will check out for some nice souvenir ;)

Looks like a regular VI 1927 coin to me. Uncirculated condition, I think.

You have to weigh this coin as many are fake. Period. If it's not the exact weight then it bad. Italy allows pretty decent fakes as long as they are underweight. Always weigh these type of coins

AU-58 slight rub on cheek, SPL+ Italian grading. if you bought it for a FDC... nice edges and definitely a real coin. direct daylight pictures a must. If you paid anything south of 400, it's a great buy.

Edit: just noticed that I posted in a dead post that had just been resurrected.
