I think I got lucky with this Spes one, great price for a nicer coin than it looked like from the pics.</p><p>&nbsp;It seems a really good flan, of fairly good silver, these pictures show it pretty nicely, and show how minor the spots are, but I guess they would bother the people who want nothing but perfect coins in their collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Beautiful PAX FUNDATA CUM PERSIS, very nice coin doug.
