<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1449006, member: 15445&quot;]I wanted to post this old Italy coin &amp; hope some of our resident experts like Petronius might tell us more about it.&nbsp; It is an 1859 5 centesimo (apparently from the government of Tuscany).&nbsp; I had it slabbed by NGC in an attempt to protect it from further surface contamination.&nbsp; NGC graded it MS65 RB.&nbsp; The short title on the slab reads: &quot;Tuscany - 2nd Provisional&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently Vittorio Emanuele II became king of a unified Italy around the time of this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
