I would say that your coin is definitely better than EF! It appears to be very attractive.
That is a huge counterstamp. Seems to have nearly obliterated the entire obverse! I'm not familiar with these at all. Can you post more, or...
I would grade your coin good VF, and say that you paid almost exactly what it's worth. Appears to be an attractive coin. Congrats.
I think I like the reverse of the first one the best. The patina on that medal is gorgeous! Is that a hole in the top one? Was it issued that...
It is definitely possible to get coins of Lizzie for a fair price. I prefer the shilling, because of its large size and good detail. Many of the...

I think the Pegasus is my favorite of the bunch. Very nice!
I'll admit that I am not intimately familiar with Roman history. Is there a particular reason he chose those dates to start and end the book's...
