Owner Comments:
The falus coinage of 1310 is more common than that of 1306, but it is still by no means common. The 1306 coins are considered "patterns," and 1310 is considered a circulation strike. You will find these coins in circulated condition (some of them quite worn), but they are very scarce. Finding them in a high grade UNC is nearly impossible!
I got very lucky to buy this particular piece. The strike is fairly typical for these issues and shows some weakness. However, the eye appeal is undeniable! Very attractively toned, with flashy semi-prooflike luster.
