I hope you tied its legs up so they wouldn't run off.:p
All I can say is the Canadian bill is good for exchange rate, being the CD is worth US$1.115. WOW! When I looked that up just now I didn't...
So basically from what I can gather, specimens are high-quality coins similar to proofs but could have a dull look similar to buisiness strikes....
Yes, it is Austrian but I don't have any reference books for the 18th cent, so sorry that I can;t help you more.:o
HA, I was there just the other day, I swore I saw a checkout button. Hey, Jack, whats going on?
It has been nearly a year, but I ran across this cent in a buch of stuff I had and decided to finally show every one what I had. It took forever...
Looking at the larger pics, it does appear to be uncirculated but I don't see any lustre. Without better pics it would be hard to tell what...
Thats not nessesarly true about AU showing no lustre, because XF coins can have some broken lustre still.
Congrats! That safe must go pretty deep!:D
I have done at least half of those on the list. Thanks for the entertaining read!
Post like this are enjoyable. It looks like their is an interesting die crack on the reverse at 9 o'clock. I think MS-64.
It doesn't look kosher.
The one on the right.;)
Maybe its some type of pattern. As far as I know there were no crowns made for his early coinage. But I am leaning more towards is not being real.
I noticed that for Swiss 5Francs(KM# 40) and 2 Francs(KM# 21), some are labeled specimen. How can you distinguish between a regular business...
I agree, the coin is a fake.
OOO, I envy you so much. I want one of those Mini coins so bad. I even started a thread on it a month or two ago but it didn't get much...
It appears to have been grease-filled when the coin was struck.
Its machine doubling. It looks just like a 1955 Poor-Man's Doulble Die.
Beautiful coin! I have yet to see one in person. Great Find!
