<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 2622268, member: 76440"][USER=9204]@Ardatirion[/USER] has a full beard, I presume? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />Thanks for your all your help that day. Yes, the labor was deciding whether I could live with the damage. I don't usually buy "hole fillers" but this Double Litra is particularly complete and sharp for the type and has a lovely dark green patina with some minor obverse pitting, as typical. It's a lovely example, but for the damn scratch, which is thankfully on the reverse field and not the devices. Also, as this type is MoU restricted, the Vecchi 3 (1996) provenance is important. Finally, it was priced fairly by CNG to reflect the damage. A true upgrade of this coin (same condition, no scratch) will likely cost 3 to 4x the price I paid for this one. So, I made an uncharacteristic condition concession! You were very patient waiting for me to decide. I hope you had a good show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
