It's an NGC slab - no worries there if the cert number checks out. But the coin is clipped (which is not uncommon) and the inscriptions are...
I like all of the varieties. VF coins would be just fine, actually, as long as they exhibited lions as nice as yours. Frequently that seems to be...
Those last three coins are right up my geographical area of interest. Nice finds!

I would like to collect one from Gaza as well, but they are typically in much worse shape than this NEWP, and enormously expensive. I will wait...
