What he said! Good looking "Patched 3", as well. Jesse
Excellent read and outstanding coin! Thank you for a great thread. Jesse
I think it's perfect for showing relief and thickness on ancients.
There is something similar here: http://amhistory.si.edu/coins/flash/exhibition.shtml though it is digital.
Excellent question, I am interesting in seeing further responses. I'm not aware of any catalog of their collection (which would be enourmous) but,...
I was also thinking it was odd that it was not visible, even in that state of preservation. I'll look into it and see if there is a possibility...

It is quite interesting, thank you for posting it. I don't really think it a society with a $2,500 price tag, though. The American Numismatic...
Not to be rude, but what are you trying to get at?
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, my condolences to you and your family. Jesse
Not only a O.104 but a O.104'a', very nice find. Hermann calls this an R-6? (needs more investigation) die state and only lists 4 examples in his...
The coin will almost certainly look worse if done by anyone other than an expert. So assuming that it is not valuable enough to warrant expert...
