I often do, but I submit some raw coins as well, and would rather not have "details" grades from PCGS. This is the reason for the question. I...
At least you got a nice coin. I've got some nice coins I overpaid for. Better to overpay on a nice coin than a nasty one, right?
Because I'm stupid. LOL No, seriously, this is one "unwritten rule" I tend to forget about from time to time (and really was mostly unaware of)....
Dunno. I see what you're talking about but that could be a case of pareidolia.

No, you did nothing wrong at all by posting it here.
It's a tricky distinction that trips up many folks. The topic comes up here very often.
Since this is not an error coin, I see no reason it needed to be on the Errors forum. Then again, maybe you wanted to know if it was an error, so...
A little tooling wouldn't surprise me here, but wow... what a coin, regardless.
Great design.
Those Spanish maravedis with the counterstamps are cool, and often come with sandy patinas like your Roman has. Yours is the first I can recall...
