<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2686057, member: 19463&quot;]t seems a shame no one wants to show coins but JA was right that any gold would seem worth the price.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect gold for exactly that reason.&nbsp; To realize the full value of the coin, you should not have to melt it.&nbsp; I have a couple of Byzantine golds that cost $100 but that was well under melt back then. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can almost play.&nbsp; I do not record prices without shipping, taxes etc. so I do not know exactly how much I paid for this one (not including shipping).&nbsp; It came from Canada so it may be legal even though my recorded price is $210 postpaid.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]601454[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is a Byzantine Anonymous A3 follis worth well under $100 overstruck on a Laetitia as of Gordian III also worth well under $100.&nbsp; I was willing to pay double for what I considered the cool factor of there being an 800 year gap between the two uses.&nbsp; I have several overstruck coins but none hung around for even 80 years (more likely just 8???) between uses so 800 seemed worth a premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
