We have rules that are enforced, anyone has issues with members address it with mod in private, NOT on the forum....

The assumption was also WRONG....

Slowevo...

I think you have definitely just earned yourself a BANNER.

Um let me ask since inquiring minds want to know...
Did you clean this coin ?
The condition is amazing.
If so...
I would highly recommend you refrain from such... this can and usually will only harm it in some way.

I did have to remove a little surface grime I couldn't make out the coin at first,you know its gotta be about half and half sometimes I do clean the cobs,sometime if I can see a lot of detail I will leave them,in your opinion..do you think I destroyed this one

No... not at all... BUT... DONT do it again...
Let it be... seal it... in small manageable plastic bag for now.

Incredible... this coin is off the charts.
I am really amazed this is real.
Crazy.

Um... and BTW... this is the 20th anniversary of Tnet... Today from what I understand.

This coin definitely deserves the title of Tnet 20 year cherry. heh

That is as sweet as it gets! Definitely different than the usual ones. No large cross with castles and lions. No pillars either. Understood that most of those items are inside the shield, but the non-shield side is really unique. Here it comes..........BANNER!
