This specimen was lot 33323 in Heritage sale 3064 (Chicago, April 2018), where it sold for $228. The catalog description^[1] noted, "Naples & Sicily. Ferdinando II 10 Tornesi 1856 MS63 Brown PCGS, KM 369. A piece with sharp design features, leading to an appearance where devices seem to jump out slightly at the viewer. Surfaces are an enticing caramel brown, and while rims seem at first glance to have taken slight localized hits in various areas, it appears that this is in fact how the coin was struck. A sizeable flan crack is noted across the reverse, while a few smaller cracks can also be seen near the edges of the obverse. Absolutely unique, and highly appealing in this condition."

KM 369, 31.18 g, copper, 38 mm diameter, struck 1851-59, common up thru VF. 240 tornese = piastra.
