Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 10/17/2017 7:55 pm Another nice find. Rather than Depeyrot, I would attribute it as Roberts 986. Either way, it is a great coin!

Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 03/12/2018 7:40 pm Today I got a great email from the restauration lab. They have finished the cleaning of 4 of my Carolingian coins. The Legends has become so much better! (My camera has a technical problem on the moment, so the photo's were taken with my phone) Edited by Archeo1982 03/12/2018 7:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
