Not-My-Prettiest-Purchase

I just pulled the trigger on this one... not the prettiet example but it a coin type that I want and cant really afford. This one was about the cheapest I could expect to find priced at 200 euro.

Did I do the right thing I wonder or should I have held out for a better one?

The turtle isn't perfect condition (normally the back is a nice smooth shape but I guess thats why it is comparatively cheap.

Another one crossed off my list...thanks for the reassurance guys. :)

They are hard to find and are little gems.

With the coin in hand it is almost as thick as it is wide! I can see why these are a desirable type...I still don't think mine is a particularly attractive example but I am pleased to be able to own one at all.

Great coin, it has character, doesn't need to be pretty.

:) well I guess it was a fair price and though I would have liked a pristine one I wouldn't be prepared to pay 4 times the price to get one so I have no regrets.

Thanks for the reassurances :)
