I’m thinking they went 53 or, more likely, 55, just because it looks so nice!
Looks like AU53 to me, but wouldn’t be surprised if ANACS called it 55 or even 58. Whatever the case, it’s a truly handsome coin and would find a...
Dunno... To me, it looks like the sort of circulation wear that usually gets an XF40, maybe 45, from the major TPG’s. But if it did, it would...
Maybe it just doesn’t occur naturally in Greece....

You wouldn’t believe how I fell into it: dutifully trailing my missus through her (not my) favorite aisles of a local big-box chain bookstore when...
