<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 735571, member: 19463&quot;]In a very short time of looking for a decent looking blanca of Ferdinand and Isabella I&#039;m starting to think there is something odd about them.&nbsp; I see coins with reasonably well struck centers and weak circling legends and coins with weak centers and legible around.&nbsp; The other example of this sort of thing that comes to mind is the cup shaped Byzantine coins where the curve of the dies needed to be matching to avoid the problem.&nbsp; Were these struck in some special way that explains the observation or am I just not seeing decent coins offered?&nbsp; This does seem to be one of those types too common to be handled by many dealers.&nbsp; How hard is it to find full legend, well struck blanca?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Example (better balanced than most I&#039;ve seen but hardly good looking):</p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/119296833.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would appreciate a link to a site goo for IDing these )preferably in English).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
