<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2140689, member: 19463&quot;]This thread reminded me I didn&#039;t have a Venetian and the show yesterday provided this one like Eng&#039;s above.&nbsp; Researching it found a listing for this specimen (this coin, not just one like it) on acsearch with a price nearly double what I paid.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the third time I have bought a coin that was cheaper than a certain dealer lists as having sold on acsearch.&nbsp; I suspect someone figures they benefit by fooling people into thinking coins sell for high prices when they did not sell in the sale and were later wholesaled to a small dealer who buys leftovers.&nbsp; It is a nice specimen but I would not pay the price of some sellers for a coin available in some quantity.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s tone does photograph well. </p><p>Venice...1253 - 1268..AD..</p><p>Rainier Zeno</p><p>AR grosso</p><p>22mm x 2.13g.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]409338[/ATTACH] </p><p>I will point out that the auction and flip gave the weight as 3.13g which is ridiculously high for a grosso.&nbsp; The coin weighs 2.13g so I just call it a typo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
