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.
- Pros
- Attractive Design
- Cons
- Poor Condition
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.
- Pros
- Value (low premium over spot)
- Attractive Design
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
