Recent pickup for $10.33 delivered after redeeming my tiny eBay Bucks voucher. Was originally priced at $14.99. Not bad for ten (-ish) bucks, I...
I was low. Was gonna say 50.
+2 PS- twist my arm hard enough and I might go 55. PPS- wow.
Googled and linkified, for anyone else who was scratching their heads.
What a wonderful adventure to be able to dig in that part of the world. "Old" coins found here mean 1600s or 1700s at the earliest. I did find a...
(Serious post, no winky emoji) I can agree with your statement there. Ancients are fun in all types and states of preservation. I strongly...

I'd say it's pretty close to VG and wouldn't quibble if someone called it that. I merely said G6 to be conservative.
Oh! I just remembered I have one ancient I've never shown before, thanks to a kind gift from @kazuma78. @Curtisimo- LMK if you don't already...
If it's not noticeably hairlined (that obverse doesn't look so bad, for a circulation find), then it should be worth whatever any comparable proof...
