You have some very collectible coins for sure, this one included. The reverses on your coins are great and what makes the coins in my view, and...

I wouldn't even know to look for something like this. Congrats are in order. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I try to collect RR coins whenever I can. This one looks to be in fine condition. One of the things I always look for are the devices scattered...
This is my first and perhaps my only foray into medieval coins. I know this does not belong in this section, but you guys are my family and, hey,...
