<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 7451741, member: 75525&quot;]I watched parts of the 3 day G&amp;M auction. Normally I look at RR coins and cast bronze (that is often in the Greek section). This time, I did not have to wake at 3AM to see early lots because I targeted a few scale weights. The extra sleep was nice and I picked up my target, a one As and half As scale weight lot. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1292158[/ATTACH] </p><p>the seller&#039;s description - </p><p>Gewichte.

I do not know what qualifies a weight to grade VF. There is not much wear, but a few hundred years ago someone probably removed silver filling from the letters. Some sellers note that the silver was removed. The pics tell the story here.</p><p><br /></p><p>post any GM wins or disappointments[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
