<p>[QUOTE=&quot;l.cutler, post: 24674841, member: 13318&quot;]One little niche of my collecting are the 1640 countermarked douzains. They were revalued with a fleur de lys counterstamp, and had a higher value in the French colonies in America than in France so circulated heavily there.&nbsp; They found their way to the British colonies as well.&nbsp; It is amazing to be able to get coins that may have circulated side by side with Massachusetts silver for such a low price. I try to get as many undertypes as I can find and have two of the Papal douzains, one Avignon and one Carpentras. Not a lot of reference material on these coins, and of course much of what is available is in French, so IDing and researching these coins can be a little tough![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
