1574 charles 9 Tolouse france teston doubling on obv. fr..etc.. and possibly some on reverse..cannot be machine doubling as was hand hammered, lol what ya' all think??
thought so when i was bidding on it, looks much better in hand, i believe someone stuttered with the hammer that day?? do not know if hand struck or on a press, but i thought would be a nice addition to my error collection..and from seeing others listed i got it at a good price as well..
1574... and your finger banging the hell out of it!!! Stop touching it!!!!! You just decrease the value......
Nope, that’s the beauty of really old coins. You can touch them all you want. Ancients FTW (I know this does not count as ancient)
I still would not place my print on it oil, dirt, peanut butter & jelly so forth and so on! Nice coin keep it that way thanks for the post be safe...
That coin has likely been handled by 10s of thousands of people over its life time and then spent time in the ground. Holding it won’t hurt it.
