chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 6:05 pm It's very nice for a first coin; mine was a worn copper that most people here wouldn't look at twice :) It has a nice portrait and reverse. He isn't a particularly rare ruler but I doubt you'll feel the need to upgrade this one any time soon. Don't know what you paid for it but it's a nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
