    ...grabbing this one. Did you ever have a coin just scream to you?? Although I already had a Rosette-Mascle Groat in my collection, I just couldn't let this one go by. I'd be curious to see what a TPG would come up with; but I'll keep her unslabbed and designate a "practically as struck" grade for my own.
