<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3366045, member: 19463"]Your coin has one of the best Christ faces we have seen but is weak from insufficient flan at the top and edges. When you read the links, you missed the first line of the reverse reads "+Jesus". There are very few of these that approach perfect and your coin is a real keeper ....by a nose. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>TIF asked this for a reason. Class A folles vary in weight from about 7 to over 20g. The link to the CT discussion discussed the matter so we don't need to repeat it here. Students of the series would be interested in the weight of yours. I would guess a bit under 10g making it one that some call A3 but others lump together with the heavier coin s called A2. Right? My best A2 is this 17.0g coin with a poor nose and very weak partial Emmanuel around the edges.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]892717[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
