Hello all,
I haven't been able to make a big cherrypick for a while but did you think that an Italian guy couldn't catch a spaghetti wings!!!
Here are dealers pics and this afternoon, after an acetone bath, will send other pics.
It has also nice semi pl reflective fields even if it has some contact marks on the obverse. Will send to PCGS Europe for grading wishing to get a nice MS grade. Maybe 62?? What do you think??

BTW... if this is a 62 it'd beat my 61 that I was over the moon to find... A hugely beautiful coin all the way round.
Can't figure out why I want carbonara and chianti right now...

Spectacular find!!
Very nice semi pl fields in images.
Awesome closeup images.
I hope you get the 62.
I am in the MS 61 camp bc of 4 hit areas on the obv.
In any event it is far nicer than my au58.
Great pickup!!
Mike

Nice EDS example, so I believe that makes it al dente

Nice! The severity of the bag matks might give it a technical grade of MS60, on a good day you might get 61. Nonetheless, a spaghetti wings in mint state is no small feat! Congrats, I’d be happy!

I'll admit, I wet myself a bit giggling uncontrollably as I have little doubt certain locals bought into this full bore... The BBC wouldn't LIE to the British citizens after all, right?!
Nah... only unadulterated and truthful news from such a reputable source...

Nice to see that many of you guys are involved with Italian culinary delights and italian language
Anyway, i have sent coin to PCGS Europe and will update this discussion when i got it back

Finally after more than 3 months grade and pics showed up on my PCGS account
I hoped it could be a 62 but i think it's correct grade since there are many signs...
