Numista Rarity index: 70
so what we got here we got an fv classification ( IMO) which is comparivtialy low
combined with an rarity index among peers of the collectors population
so at best the value is very low
apostata, Eh, you win some, you lose some.

Yes, take care of yourself, apostata.
Regards from me too, WAKI. The pic on the right is upside down by the way, WBTN !!!!
Thanks all for information and comments - much appreciated
