<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 37354, member: 283&quot;]Doug knows his stuff and i&#039;m not saying i&#039;m right or that he&#039;s wrong. All i&#039;m doing is merely offering an alternative explanation. There is no substitute for seeing the coin in the flesh IMHO and I for one would not be prepared to say that it IS genuine from these scans. I would only go so far as to say that it looks genuine to me.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get cocky on that point. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen some fakes made from better quality silver than the original, and I kid you not on that one.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I simple words....no, I just don&#039;t have the time to scan the relevant pages at present. There&#039;s not a lot to see but a series of coins from Ecu to 1/16th ecu all overlapping each other, (but the salient details can be seen none the less). The prices in Ciani are rather out of date given that it was printed in 1926, so no, I can&#039;t help you there either.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you could do is check out for yourself cgb&#039;s site to see if they have any archived from previous sales or auctions. Their site is the `holy grail&#039; of french numismatics as far as i&#039;m concerned.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cgb.fr" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cgb.fr" rel="nofollow">http://www.cgb.fr</a></p><p><br /></p><p>How much did you pay for it?
