There appears to be some sort of residue in the cello housing the coins. Look all around the edges with high magnification and see if you can...
@messydesk John, will these be available in the produce section or in the condiments aisle? Chris
So, there is no "different" (mintmark) stamped next to ARGENT. Correct? This tells me that it was probably produced sometime after 1789 but before...
I disagree! Every reference book I've read about French medals states that it is the abbreviation for fecit. I have many French medals of the 19th...
I'll do it if you pay me $700K up front. Chris;)
I don't feel it's worth enough of a premium to have it submitted for grading and attribution. Granted, I could probably submit it to ANACS for...
I always get a kick out of someone who refers to a 13 year-old coin as an "older date". Congratulations, you young...

Thanks for the (as usual!) great report, Charmy. I glad to know that 2016 is coming up roses for you. Chris
In the past, I believe that Peter has said that he wanted to avoid flame wars. Chris
I'm guessing that @coinman1234 is a very good haggler, and he got everything for $20.00. Chris
I think you should have included some "Details" grades. I don't like the look of the obverse. Chris
In the past, I have voiced my opposition to the "No Replies" rule, but I've gradually had a change of heart. Currently, the day care facilities...
It looks like PMD to me! Chris
