The king's numeral is written as IIII - unlike the other transitional type which have it written as IV (You can see mine here : http://www.numismaticageneral.com/t...e-transicion) It has a lot of remaining luster, particularly on the pillar side.

I see some really faint lines between ET and IND, two scratches on the left pillar, one near the right one. I'm not used to high grade, so ... I'm not sure I see everything I should see :) uE1CY0q43RY Report this Post to the Staff
