Beautiful piece

Lovely coin, I kind of like old coins that show they were used as such, of course high grade coins of this era are very attractive and expensive but still they lack that flavor of history these circulated coins have!

I agree but sometimes a uncirculated gem has history as someone has piked it out of circulation and it's been pride of a collection passed down for many generations. I've got some 1600s coins just been slabbed ms absolutely cracking stuff I love preserving them for future generations
