<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3275676, member: 97383"]Mat, your Volusian Tet is a well struck, well centered coin with a handsome portrait despite being over-cleaned & slightly porous. I also believe you have it misattributed; your coin is not Prieur #698, but Prieur #697, a much rarer coin with only 2 examples cited by Prieur. McAlee lists your coin as #1187c, & extremely rare. The two coins are virtually identical, however the rarer variety has the eagle head facing to the left, not the right. Expose your coin to the open air for a few years, handle on occasion & it will tone up nicely. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
