I`ve been away a while but got a new coin worth post. Not often do i happen on a coin and just saw WOW. But this was such and occasion. While not a valuable coin i truly love it. I am going to send it in to get graded. I really dont see these lion coins in good shape often and never have this nice. Chris
that's a great grade for that year. looks MS just not sure what # it is ??? Krause KM#34.1 1 centime, 1887, copper, mintage- 5,000,000 UNC-$15.00 BU- $ ? not sure it would be worth having it graded/slabbed because of its high mintage. still a great coin.
what I meant was I do know what Mint State number the grade is. ? at least worthy of an airtite to keep it from being scratched and preserved.
Here's an interesting detail about these coins: the F. in the designer's name BRAEMT F. stands for the Latin word "fecit" (made by) and is not his initial. So it says: (Joseph-Pierre) Braemt made this.
