<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2438775, member: 74282"]I purchased this Æ as in the recent CNG auction.

The cataloguer at CNG didn't seem to pick up on what was different about it, and based on the lack of bids(I won it at only a single increment over opening, a decent bit below my max) I don't know if any other bidders did either, but the previous collector, RBW, did make a note of it on his tag. Can you see it?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]507815[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>You don't need to know the dimensions to see it but for those interested, it's 29mm in diameter and weighs in at 11.87g.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
