<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 896936, member: 6647&quot;]I was in Canada last week and stopped by a coin store to get the 125th anniversary of Confederation series. While there I picked up some other coins that more or less correspond to numismatic projects I am working on.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mexico 1/2 reale, 1855-Mo, assayers G.F., KM#370.9. 16 mm diameter, 1.72g. This is meant to be a G.F. over G.C. according to Krause, but I don&#039;t see the overpunch.</p><p><img src="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x7/karakorum_photos/MEX_1855_halfR-Mo-GF.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Philippines under US adiminstration, 20 centavos, 1918-S, KM#170. The coin has a very nice yellow tone, which did not come through with my current lighting system for photos.</p><p><img src="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x7/karakorum_photos/PHL_1918S_20centavos.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>France, 5 francs, 1873-A (Paris mint), KM#820.1. Common date for the issue. This same design and diameter/weight/silver specification was used in the 1960&#039;s for a 10 francs piece. I like the bee reverse left of the A (detail picture below). It is the mint director&#039;s privy mark.</p><p><img src="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x7/karakorum_photos/FRC_1873A_5francs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x7/karakorum_photos/FRC_1873A_5francs-detail.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
