Oh yeah, it is the king and not Joan. Sorry, I got all excited when I got a hit for a Joan of Arc coin and didn't read it all the way through :goof:
Nothing great, but I found this one that is supposedly Joan of Arc at http://www.ancient-art.com/images/mc218.jpg [IMG]
Nice coin. I picked one of them up at a coin store a couple of weeks ago for just a very small premium over a non VAM for the dare/mintmark in the...

I am not sure, but I think it will go below the date on the obverse. I think I remember Jamie Franki saying it wasn't decided for sure. It will...

I'm lucky, MrsSpud not only collects coins too, she just got elected as Director of the local coin club we belong to. We make a good team at coin...
Cool, it reminds me of a vinyl record (remember those?) :)
Thanks! I couldn't find anything anywhere on pricing of either the old JOH or of the VAM for this one. Now at least I have a clue :)
Yeah, inert plastic coin tubes are safer than paper. There is no reason to keep the wrapper except for mint paper wrappers. People pay a premium...
