<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WhispTech, post: 383343, member: 1565&quot;]K so an other forum member (belg_jos) has been pming me saying that the info that bart gave is incorrect.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here is a quote of that message.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I&#039;m afraid this is the 1913 coin. Actually the 1917 Dutch legends doesn&#039;t exist. That&#039;s why I was sending you the message. I wonder why Bart didn&#039;t see he was making the mistakes when he was answering your initial question. I have the same books as he has, so I guess he got confused.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotvie...AucID=75&amp;Lot=4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotvie...AucID=75&amp;Lot=4" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotvie...AucID=75&amp;Lot=4</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here you can see one of the latest of the rare 1917 French legends being sold in Switzerland.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can scan a 1913 coin for you and your friend.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://users.pandora.be/labyrinth_of.../1fr1913vl.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://users.pandora.be/labyrinth_of.../1fr1913vl.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://users.pandora.be/labyrinth_of.../1fr1913vl.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps. Too bad it isn&#039;t a new variety. I&#039;m working on a catalogue of coins from Belgium 1832-2001, and it would&#039;ve been nice to add a new find </p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Joselito&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>They are trying to say that the one I have shown is the 1913 version.&nbsp; My answer to this is that the pictures where not the greatest since done just to give a general idea of the coin.&nbsp; There is 4 people that held this coin that day and are all in agreement that it is from 1917.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now here is my coin again in which I am going to compare to the 1913</p><p><img src="http://www.execulink.com/~whisp1/images/coin/belgium1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://users.pandora.be/labyrinth_of_words/pics/1fr1913vl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>First thing I notice right away is the space at the top of the numbers of the 3 to the 1 and the 7 to the 1.&nbsp; The 7 seems to be longer then the top of the 3 thus there is less space.&nbsp; Also the fact that the coin that he has shown for 1913 is in way better condition then the worn down one my friend has in which the the top of the number is still longer after wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways I told belg_jos just to post in this thread to discuss.</p><p><br /></p><p>added, I just searched the internet and found this 1913 hosted on worldcoingallery which again when looking at the numbers does not resemble the numbering on mine for the 7.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img7/18-73.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
