[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3001497, member: 10461"]I haven't owned a Scottish coin yet. This one has surpassed my lowball starter bid, but there's still a little time to pursue it, if you think that's advisable. It'll require some sniping and bare-knuckle fighting to get it, perhaps, but if y'all think it looks authentic and have any suggestions on a fair bid price, I've got a little bit of coin money from recent sales to reinvest. It's also a "-65" coin, which is fun for me (1565 was exactly 400 years before my birthyear- and I'm of Scottish descent, too). 1565 makes this more of a Renaissance/Early Modern coin than an Ancient, but I've chosen to solicit opinions here, since I know many of you are more advanced, savvy numismatists and might have some experience here. (As yet, I do not.) [LIST] [*][B]Does it look OK to you? [/B] [*][B]If so, what do you think I should bid on it, roughly speaking?[/B] [/LIST] [ATTACH=full]742738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]742739[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
