PS- and circling back around to the original topic, I'll bet Vespasian himself would've laughed, since he's recorded as having had a sense of...
Maybe first one, then the other! Or maybe one person did both the laughing and the flogging! Reminds me of a certain patriotic US Civil War...
Ew! PUS! That's a neat detail I might've overlooked the first three or four times I looked at the coin.
I remember saving up from my first summer job at age 16 to buy my first US gold coin. It was an 1857 $5 piece, maybe F-VF-ish. Still remember it...
*I* would have bought that! The one with the decoupage coin clippings is super neat, too. I agree that the first picture in the OP needs to...

If @RomanTheRussian had disagreed with me, I would have deferred to whatever he said. As you can deduce from his avatar, he knows a thing or two...
Good point.
... minimum. Your coin, with the exception of the dark specks on the rim, looks better than the slabbed MS63 to me, in strike and luster at...
I call it Choice AU, personally. And really I don't see anything to say it isn't MS? It's a "slider" at worst. XF is too conservative (though...
Literally gave me an LOL, because that one literally hits pretty close to home in my case! :P
Interesting, considering it's not one of the bigger keys.
That is a totally awesome photo. :)
PS- I like the Vietnam 50-xu with the dragons. Never had one of those. I've had the 20-su. Always liked those Laotian ones with the center hole...
