Nice picture svessien !

 

Nice coins everybody! obviously you are all proud of them, as you should be.

Cucumbor, i looked up your 2 Francs 1826 L, of which only 4 specimens have been recorded (!), in the Standard catalogue of World Coins. It is amazing how innacurate that catalogue can be with some issues of foreign coins. Their listing does not reflect the rarity by far! I don't have a Gadoury unfortunately to get a better picture of how rare those coins are.

(I have a similar case with a coin in my collection, a german states 2 Gulden piece for Hessen-Darmstadt, which is the only recorded specimen. It was listed for years at $ 150 in VF in the World Coins catalogue.)

 

I guess it's my turn to post something so how about an ancient?

Not as awesome as the rest, but one of my few ancients--a Probus Tetradrachm of Alexandria, c. AD 276.

 

Nothing to be ashamed of! I just got interested in Alexandrian coinage myself, so this is a great piece for me!

 

all great coins guys
