The only thing that makes any sense is that it is a fake of some sort. No coin of Louis XIIII ever had that reverse. Even a jeton would not have...
OK - time to answer. I paid $1.20 for that Proof Jeff. Coinman was the closest. You're up !
Why ? Just call it my gut feeling after watching the market for so long.
Paul I don't know what you are seeing, but everything on that coin is toned blue to my eyes. Including all the devices and legends, but it really...
