<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 25954045, member: 104064"]There are four different inks and handwriting on that scrap of paper so it's possible that three of the notations are unrelated to the coin. "303g" could easily be 3039 instead - do French people write a lowercase g that high relative to the other characters? "VG-" is perhaps an abbreviation like "BU" but I have no idea which French words it would be, and why put a dash after. Then we have a large 8 and small -0.01 and -0.04 written vertically. This is left of a fold in the paper so I'm inclined to think it has nothing to do with the coin. I scribble stuff like that on used envelopes all the time when I'm looking stuff up or making lists. It's merely temporary notations and I'll reuse the envelope more than once as long as there's space available, for different things. It would be impossible for someone else to draw a connection between the separate groups of notations, because there isn't any. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nice coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
