<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 166984, member: 3565&quot;]OK,I guess this is a good time to bring back the famous Mikjo0 Swiss army coin.The big Louis 5 franc pieces were used to make these novelties ALL the time.I&#039;ve seen at least three and your magnifying glass makes 4.They were probably not done anywhere near the date of the coin but probably in the early-mid 20th century.In the case of mine,the pieces are chrome plated which tells me they&#039;re relatively recent.</p><p>The good news is...I&#039;ve been offered over three times the value of the coin itself for this contraption.The bad news is...the Krause value in Fine is $9.00.</p><p>Your Louis XVIII,assuming it&#039;s the Paris (A) mint was worth about $25 before the &quot;alteration&quot; but I&#039;m willing to bet you could sell it for more as a novelty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
