[QUOTE="Maxfli, post: 2004241, member: 69089"]It wasn't intended to be, that's why it was rendered in copper. But it [U]was[/U] intended to have at least some value, hence the typically large size of old coppers. I've become a huge fan of old coppers. Many of them are beautifully designed, and, like PM coins, they were actually worth something in their time (just not a lot!) Just had an 1872 French 10 centimes arrive in the mail yesterday. Gorgeous design, XF+ to AU condition, and cost me next to nothing.[/QUOTE]
