He was a dealer at a show who was just getting back into things after going bankrupt years ago. He refuses to grade anything higher than MS-64, and marks things cheaply so that the buyers are really happy with their buys. We had a good discussion.
Venetian (or Bulgarian imitative) grosso with a Jesus portrait making His head look look like a skull. $10
I was gonna say, even those untoned quarters are looking beautiful! And thanks for the response on the 2 Feather question. Good to know!
I picked this up tonight. It isn't particularly a rare variety, but it is a rare die state - V. The CUD has advanced further over TY than any other V I've seen. $32 and change.
