Very helpful and useful. Thanks for the video explanation.
I don't have one of my own pics handy for this one in my collection, so I'll post the PCGS CoinFacts images of it instead. The date is on the...
A 2nd example of this restrike. Now I have to decide which one to keep. :D [IMG]
I have no idea how I missed this thread. Italian designs are some of the best around IMO. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
