<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 3717397, member: 24091&quot;]This coin has a very interesting story, purchased raw in 2001.&nbsp; It was listed in a World Coin News advertisement in the September, 2001 issue.&nbsp; Wish I could remember the dealer&#039;s name, he was located in Manhattan.&nbsp; I called on a Friday and asked if he still had it, he told me he thought he did but would have to check his safe deposit box at the bank and to call back the following week.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So I waited a couple days, and on Tuesday the following week the planes plowed into the World Trade Center.&nbsp; Everyone else was focused on that, all I could think about was how this coin was going to slip through my fingers.&nbsp; But showing the greatest of patience imaginable I didn&#039;t call this guy on Tuesday, I waited until Wednesday to call the day after 9/11.&nbsp; This guy was actually in his coin store the very next day even though it was located only 6 blocks from the WTC.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The conversation with him that morning was unforgettable, he was kind of manic, talking 200 words a minute about the events the previous day.&nbsp; I told him I was surprised he came in to the shop that day, and he said it was the only thing providing any stability in his life at the moment, the coin shop, the coins, --and yes! he had the 100 Franga in the safe that I had asked about.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>He sent it out registered mail that day prior to receiving my check.&nbsp; This was a guy I had never bought a coin from before and he sent it out on a phone call after spending 20 minutes dong the &quot;coin therapy&quot; thing over the phone with me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course he got his check from me, was mailed the same day.&nbsp; And the coin itself?&nbsp; Undergraded by 2 points me thinks, and should have PL designation as well.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]996450[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]996451[/ATTACH] Have a look:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
