<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2503614, member: 76194&quot;]This is the second coin in a row where the seller has grossly misattributed the location where the coin was minted. At least it&#039;s the right denomination and ruler, but the mint is way off (but it&#039;s an improvement on the Indian coin I bought last week where even the culture that minted it and denomination was wrong).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the coin with the new attribution:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]531603[/ATTACH]</p><p>Sancho IV &quot;El Bravo&quot;</p><p>AR Cornado 1284-1295 CE</p><p>Seville mint.</p><p>SANCII REX, Crowned bust left. /</p><p>CASTELLE LEGIONIS, Castle, crucifix on top with star to the left and S to the right</p><p>C&amp;C 1197; Burgos 243; S. Cy1192. SC</p><p><br /></p><p>I knew the attribution was off when it said the star was to the right on the reverse, where it is clearly to the left, and it described the S as a mug (LOL). This is not the Cuenca mint, but rather Seville. Turns out Seville had either two stars or a star to the left and an S to the right. This is the star to the left and S to the right variety. The star and S variety appears to be the rarer type based on my research.</p><p><br /></p><p>So sad, you can&#039;t trust dealers to attribute these coins right unless they are the typical Roman, Greek, English medieval, etc. which everyone collects. If you buy some Kingdom/culture that is not as popular with the &quot;in crowd&quot; I&#039;d triple check that attribution for accuracy.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>PS: Coin is now worth an extra $10 with the correct attribution to Seville with the S. I just made a 20% profit...LOL. Not that I&#039;d ever sell it.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
