Wow. Love that octagonal type. Was unfamiliar with this one. Nor had I heard of the "Leone" denomination. Neat.
WB2 is good at that. This thread deserved its "Featured" status, and it is refreshing to see a non-ancient item get spotlighted. Just for the...
Those were exactly my thoughts on the matter. But Coin B was not worth $100-ish more to me just for the extra grade point and the little bit of...
It seems the Democratic Republic of the Congo has a tiny sliver of South Atlantic coastline, so you could sail in a straight line across the Gulf...
I don't usually remember all the thousands of bulk coins that pass through my hands, but I do remember that one, as it was the first one of that...
Yep. @DBDc80 - That one is a beauty, too!

Oh, and that's good news anout the family provenance, particularly if there is any kind of documentation. Congratulations on having an awesome coin.
PCGS Europe in Paris, then, maybe? It will be worth the effort and expense to have it certified, I think, because that will vastly expand the...
NO, WE CERTAINLY DON'T. Edit to add: I got a bit more grief than joy out of this month's giveaway, I'm afraid, but that was largely my own fault....
I just pulled the trigger on Coin A: the MS63.
Nice pieces. I know nothing about the Charles III medal, but do have some inkling about those 50-reales pieces indeed being rare and/or valuable....
