[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2151194, member: 42773"]I'm not sure if all of these Cons and Roma commems were silvered, but in my limited collecting experience, they seem rare. Perhaps the silvering was so light that it didn't stand much circulation, or the erosion of time. At any rate, I've had my eye on this coin for some time and finally pulled the trigger this morning. Not only does it have an abundance of silvering left, but the silvering is toned to an attractive gold color - not to mention the strong strike and centering. It all added up to a "must have" coin for me as an aficionado of LRB's. It comes from our friend Dionysos, who takes very accurate images of his coins, so I'm reasonably certain this is what it looks like. I'm not so much interested in the color, actually, as I am with the fact that it has so much silvering intact. [ATTACH=full]412765[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
