[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2867554, member: 10461"][USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] - thank you. Considering your specialty, your opinion on a Persian coin (albeit a much more "modern" one) carries extra weight. I think I have just about reached this conclusion myself, but for the element of doubt over the possible traces of a removed mount, which concerns me. I'm still stinging a little from PCGS' recent verdict on another one of my hammered gold pieces. This Belgium/Brabant Carolus d'or got a VF-details "damage" assessment ("Mount Removed"), which I didn't see coming, so perhaps I'm just a little twitchy on that topic at the moment. It is a dilemma, because I really love the coin otherwise, and it is making me rethink my already-weakening policy of "no 'problem' coins within the Eclectic Box".
