PhoenicianX Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 12/22/2014 4:00 pm Hey everyone I've come across a coin which seems to be a Doge Antonio Venier coin from Venice dating back to 1400. The dealer I've met is selling it for 117 dollars but I think it might be way too much for its condition. What are your thoughts? Do you think this is genuine as well? Report this Post to the Staff

I would be happy to pay about $20 for it, and MUCH more without the hole. As far as authenticity is concerned, I am reasonably happy with the sharpness of the details, but not happy with the texture of the fields. Report this Post to the Staff
