Hi
I'd like your opinion on grade and value of this coin


I got it for 2,5€, catalog value is a little higher.

Thanks for your reply !

I think it has been  cleaned by a previous owner - coin looks a lot better when in hand - picture made with flashlighting

It might even be XF/EF Details, but no real grade. The coin surface is wrecked by harsh cleaning, therefore any real grade is the result of an overactive imagination.

Fabio, out of curiosity : how much would a coin like this go in Italy ?

Hello Tony,
I think that will go around 40 euro. For the right valutation I must see the coin in my hand...
That's a strange period for the italian numismatic, the people ask just the high conservations, and there's a lot of coins.

Thanks Fabio. Prices are always changing, I'm just trying to get an approximate value for my total collection.
High grade Italian coins of that period are indeed more difficult to find here, or at high prices...
