When I was a student in Paris in 1971, I collected a few of those aluminum Vichy coins, which were still in circulation, although revalued in 1960...
Very similar to the French 2F , this Belgian 2 franc was made in the US, but it was made from the zinc plated steel blanks originally made for...
I don't mean to offend or start any arguments, but I find all toning to be damage. I know many pay huge premiums for "monster toning," and if...
As for motive, probably just someone killing time as well as coins, possibly wanting to see just what his or her new cutting device would do. The...
