Hopefully london mint, but its looking a lot like Trier. Eh. I plan to bury this and check on it in a year or so. Unless someone else has any ideas to patinate it? Heres the reverse, teensy picture so I dont know the mint yet. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16681 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 4:30 pm ebay should not be a deterrent when buying coins. Just make sure they have a clear return policy and good feedback. If they are below 99%, I avoid them. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 4:35 pm Vermontensium...my main bugbare with ebay is glitches. 9 seconds left? Nope. Auction finished ages ago according to them. This guy has 100% and I can see why - nice guy. Remember, as XKCD says, if you send every 30th customer an angry bobcat instead of their item, you'll still have 97% positive feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not really one of them but I understand that its more appealling to have it on. The main issue for me here is that its pitted. Ill see how it looks in hand. If its london, and I like the sparkle, then ill keep it like that. Otherwise, ill repatinate, or, if you like it, we could do a trade or something. Report this Post to the Staff
