    image.jpg image.jpg Just got this today in the mail for $9. Seemed like a good deal even though it’s clipped. What do you think?

    I have never seen a coin naming Hanno. I can not make out the legend, if there is one, without a better photo. Mine is similar but cost more. If your coin has a legend that is readable, it might be worth the price.

    I disagree with the word "clipped". That connotes that the planchet was like that when struck. I think its more of a broken/chipped coin. No biggie, just being real.

    $9 for a coin of the famous Carthaginian empire? Heck yeah! :)
