I do know the larger piastre coins of this design were a popular target for Chinese counterfeiters in the late 20th century. This one does have a...
Continuing the "France" theme, but also playing off the WW1 theme @Numismat and @Stork had going, here's another love token on a 1916 French...
I really like that oak branch design, for some reason. I know, it's really basic (though not as basic as seen on the 1-, 5- and 10-pfennig...
Wait... what? You're gonna tease us like that? Just post a picture of the mailer and leave us in suspense? LOL Nothing here just yet (I'm the...
Looking forward to seein' what you got! I do not recall what my first ancient was. That was so long ago, I must have gotten it from...

Nice pickup. Mine cost me $98 in a slab. Same date and similar condition to yours! I could've had a slabbed MS61 for ~115-ish (the dealer had...
My thoughts exactly!

Ah yes. Lizzie the First! I want something from her one day. Have only had two before; both low grade with problems. That one look pretty sharp.
Wow, that's a really nice one! Bet that made your day.
