I looks great to me, ta wee on the light side but I don't see anything wrong with it. The metal looks like it has cleaning lines rather than the modern steel die look in my opinion. There doesn't appear to be a seam on the edge if its a fake it fooled me.

It's not cheap and it busts my budget once again. I looked through the fakes reports as well. I think the lightness is from the way the image was taken. Hmmm

If you don't mind me asking but what is this being sold for. I know these can go from the several hundred to about a thousand dollars. If you can get a deal by all means, it is a well centered and gorgeous coin. Its wicked nice. I do like these but I have always thought that if your gonna spend go for the didrachm denomination a nice 7 gram or so piece. I like chunky though...

At the moment it's going for $399. I think from what I can see on Vcoins and acsearch that it's a pretty good price considering the condition.

That's a beautiful coin, I bet it set you back quite a bit. Congrats. Maybe some day I'll be able to afford one like this.

Before you bull the trigger look at HJB on ebay some good deals there ending on Sunday. I can't say as I ever spent that much on a coin (not that its not worth it) but I think you can get chunkier for $399 |

I went looking for one of these, if you can get it for that price I think you should jump on it, great looking coin, could or should be in the thousands...  |
