I love that story, an 1795 cent in AG for a buck!? I have never been that lucky. Love to see a pic of it if you have one. It works the other...
And to think that I had to think twice before accepting the dealers price.... I guess I was lucky. Victors coin is really superlative.
That is a beautiful 1/2 Escudo, Biurs92! Probably one of the best for the date. Congratulations. I hand't realized how scarce these late-date...
