A new addition is a a low budget greek I liked. Castulo, Hispania Ulterior, (165 - 80 B.C) Æ 27 O: Male Head right. R: Helmeted sphinx walking right, star before, KASTILO in Iberic script below exergual line. Castulo mint 19.4g 27mm Villaronga p. 335, 38; SNG BM Spain 1323 ff.; SNG Spain II 243 ff.; SNG Cop 205; Burgos 543 After a local princess named Himilce married Hannibal, Castulo allied with Carthage. In 213 B.C., Castulo was the site of Hasdrubal Barca's crushing victory over the Roman army with a force of roughly 40,000 Carthaginian troops plus local Iberian mercenaries. Soon after the Romans made a pact with the residents and the city became a foederati (ally) of Rome.
Beautiful dime! It reminds me of my own 1958-D with a similiar reverse! Your obverse truly makes the coin a rare two-sided monster.
Don't look like any of the top 10 1972 double dies to me. Go to www.coppercoins.com There is all known Lincoln double dies. I hope that helps.
Just purchased today for my type set. Can't wait to get it in-hand. PCGS MS65. Also purchased 1999-P Jefferson Nickel PCGS MS67FS for the set. No picture yet. Just added the dealer pic of the Jefferson. Not a great pic, dark. Will have Matt (geekpryde) take a better one when I get it.
Just added these two beauties. One for my 7070 graded Type collection and the other for my Morgan collection. Both low pops. MS63: MS64 DMPL
