FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 07/21/2018 5:50 pm I had really not intended to buy this coin I tossed in what I presumed to be useless bid and was somewhat surprised to find out I now owned the darn "thang" for all of 32 euros ! On arrival I noticed the edges are 'rasped' At first I was somewhat alarmed by this but after a quick google image search I notice that the edged type are not uncommon. More importantly they were not die matches to this one. Relatively common coin but nevertheless reasonably attractive. I cant make much out in the countermark and some of the legend appears to be ...... obliterated ?

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/21/2018 7:42 pm The bust details are of the nicest I'm seen on this type, much nicer that the ones I have. However I not sure what going on with the legend if it is a counter mark or an attempted to deface the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
