<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kazuma78, post: 7853772, member: 17304&quot;]I viewed this in hand at the Worlds Fair of Money and loved it. In hand, the coin is very high relief, complete around the edges and looks far better than the photos. There is a very minor edge bend that is almost not noticeable in person so its not distracting to the coin. I was happy to win this coin and look forward to getting it back in hand soon. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1352986[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1352987[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>ITALY. Lucania. Metapontion.

Quite deeply toned and pleasing, this charming specimen is nearly free from any problems, with the noted minor edge bend the only issue observed. Typically encountered with more distractions, this piece towers above most and presents a solid, well-centered strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
