Hi Akro and
Nick,
Thanks for the compliments.
When I saw that coin for sale, it caught my attention. When I noticed that it is
plated and not pure silver, it really intrigued me. I didn't have any
plated Hyria coins. So, I figured that I would bid on it.
It is unusually nice for a Hyria issue. Those coins are typically poorly struck, and many of them have a "runny" look to them (probably the result of worn dies). The fact that this example is
plated makes it very ironic. The
plated one is nicer than many of the pure silver ones.
