Nothing like it, it adds that regal edge that i like so much, the smell of 18th century absolutism, wonderful. Aristocrats a plenty. Particularly so with pre-Revolutionary French coinage.

The early strikes of the 1830s are the best because they are in higher relief than the later 1870s issues and you don&#039;t get the monotonous naked St. George design on the earlier issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
