<p>[QUOTE="Barry Murphy, post: 3565254, member: 79368"]This is the obverse of the coin. It's a Bisalti oktadrachm. This coin is exceptional for one of these. Having handled 50-60 of these over the years and seen photos of maybe 100 more, the metal on this was as good as they get. No scratches, no test cuts, no porosity. The black on the back was just a bit of inconsequential horn silver. The coin was previously in a Roma sale where it was described as "An magnificent example" and a Kuenker sale where he called it "Prachtexemplar" which translates to a choice example. It was a 5 surface all day long.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]948322[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
