    Nice coin! I underbid one coin and was comfortably outbid on two others.

    John, Great score :jawdrop:! They don't come any better than your coin :smuggrin:. I bought an example of this coin type in a PCGS slab from a southern dealer a long time ago. My coin is a typical example for this coin type compared to yours.

    Thanks Q:) France/ esp. Feudal Medieval are really beautifull. After German States (180AV coins) France+ States are my second best group with 51 AV coins. No one on the planet has enough $ to have a complete German collection.
