My coin was bought from CNG in 1998 (before the cutoff for their online resource. They claimed the mark was a collector's cachet applied by an...
Does anyone see this one as interesting, good, bad or indifferent? 45-242 March 1998 - 0.88g [ATTACH]
That photo raised a question not explained in the text. The gold coins were all more recent and higher grade than all but two of the silvers....
All nice and all Trier but hardly similar in style to each other.
