Notes:Jan 21, 10 - This is one of a number of coins currently being sold as part of a hoard "found a few kilometres to the south of town Smederova [in Eastern Serbia] in a depth of three metres. Since there's no oxygen in this depth, no harmful corrosion could occur. That's the reason why all coins - as usual for hoard coins - have an extremely fine, perfect condition. Every coin is extremely fine !" These coins are all modern copies.

SOLD to Robert Schwarer on 1/22/10
