[QUOTE="born_raisedMaui, post: 3255729, member: 98533"]Aloha Cointalk, I previously posted photos here, and received wonderful, helpful assistance on the possible what, where and when of a coin in my possession. I’ve returned in the hopes of more brain picking. (Cue diabolical laugh) Attached are photos as a refresher. When first I posted, I cropped out the cardboard sleeve as I did not want to influence any estimations as to its worth, since the price paid was revealed. Even closely cropped, paddyman98 had a sharp eye and noticed some writing :) Reminder: I inherited the coin, and have had it for about 22 years. spirityoda and muzyck, if I may, why does mine look “odd,” and how can it be so very similar to link proffered and other photos I glimpse online, but none are [I]just[/I] like mine. I know the details matter — on my coin his hat has a swoop on top and wreath of leaves on other side only goes half around, and on web search I see where his shirt has ornate button and much more writing around his person. I have had no luck on eBay finding an exact match and we don’t have coin shops or auctions or shows coming through the island. I am considering mailing it to my sons in San Francisco as I see dealers there, but my luck it’ll turn out to be an ancient Persian subway token :) Has anyone further advice to impart? I found this site (link below) that sold a coin similar to mine for 750 euro. (price “realized”?), and I would be very happy to discover mine could fetch same.
