<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 4100605, member: 98035&quot;]When bidding on an auction that charges an arm and a leg for shipping (i.e. most auction houses), if I win an individual coin, I will often flip to the bulk lots section and throw out a bunch of lowball bids for stuff I think I could maybe use to offset the individual purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this case, it was a medium sized lot of &quot;problem&quot; medieval silver coins - worn, chipped, holed coins ranging from the early Abbasid caliphate to the early 17th century Europe. I immediately recognized this one when it clinked out of the bag</p><p><br /></p><p>Carolingian Empire</p><p>Charles III &quot;le Simple&quot;, 898-922</p><p>AR Denier 21mm, 0.92g</p><p>Metalo (Melle) mint</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: + CARLVS REX R around cross</p><p>Rev: MET / ALo </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1066148[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>From what I can tell, I don&#039;t see any reason to doubt the authenticity of this coin, as I trust the seller (Nomos). Thoughts are very much appreciated however - Medieval Europe is still very much new territory for me!</p><p><br /></p><p>Any other examples out there, let&#039;s see them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
