<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 7529607, member: 84744"]One of the advantages of being an ultra-generalist is that prices are unlikely to be high in <i>every </i>area of interest. There were quite a few Florentine coins in the auction today and I managed to go from zero to 5 in that area of my collection. Here's a ratty one I was nevertheless quite happy to get:</p><p><img src="https://www.romanumismatics.com/catalogue_images/auction/xlarge/21283.10.100_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I really wanted one dated to 1478, the year of the Pazzi conspiracy.
