[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 5146395, member: 110226"]Here's a coin that shows up with some frequency on the auction circuit. It is an oncia of 30 tari, Sicily, issued by Ferdinand IV in 1791. This coin was purchased from The Money Company back in 1990. It was included in a large lot (actually a couple of boxes) of coins that I sold to raise funds to purchase our house in mid 1993. I did make arrangements with the coin dealer to buy this coin back, so I guess in a way the money generated by this coin was more of loan than a sale. This is a nice example, but it does have a scratch on the obverse and some irregularities and crudeness typical of this issue, especially with the edge and rim. This coin weighs 68.2 grams C-37a [ATTACH=full]1207980[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
