This coin is very interesting and a piece of history. It is in very poor condition, however. To make out the image on the obverse, I basically have to pull out my loupe. I have coins rated as only Fine (not VF-XF) which have much more detail, so I am not so sure that I would agree with the VF-XF rating these were purported to be (at least the one I received), but for a thousand-year-old bronze coin at this price point, I guess you can't complain much. In the end, I suppose I am glad I bought one, but I don't think I will be buying any more. When it comes to value, condition is everything.

While the listing states clearly the image shown in the product listing may not be representative of what you'll receive, the one I got was considerably less detailed. But for a piece of history at a fairly attractive entry-level price point, one can't complain too much. I'd roll the dice and order again.

I have just started to collect coins (so far only ancient/historical) and some bars of precious metal. This is history, this is artwork, and this is asset all in one.
