Not high priced in that condition, comparably speaking anyway. Even so that is a downright scarce coin with estimates of maybe 100 total still...
Precisely because of my often repeated and well known comments on the subject, I thought it was rather obvious that when I said definitely NT,...
If they are condensation, and it's possible they are, then they'll go away pretty soon. But if they don't, then they are not.
That depends on how you define cleaning. If you use the word or words, clean, cleaned, cleaning, the same way I do - then yes I would agree with...
Nope, there isn't. Not much I can tell you about the coin really other than it was minted during a very stressful time in the Netherlands. 1597...
